When friend groups struggle with political differences

Our friend group used to hang out all the time but since the election we can't seem to have a normal conversation without someone making a comment that makes everyone else uncomfortable. We're all trying to keep things light but there's this tension underneath everything and I think we're all afraid that if we actually talk about what we believe we might not like each other anymore.

What we've seen

A community is choosing surface harmony over authentic connection out of fear that deeper truth will reveal unbridgeable differences.
