When friend groups become divided over boundaries and difficult conversations

Our book club has been meeting for eight years and we've become genuinely close, but lately every discussion turns into political arguments that have nothing to do with the books we're reading. Half of us want to set boundaries and half think we should be able to talk about anything, and I'm watching friendships fracture over something we used to love together.

What we've seen

A community that once nourished is now consuming itself, and no one knows how to return to what was sacred without pretending the fractures don't exist.
