Would this bother you?

Well I watched the republican convention.

I am watching the democratic convention.

It seems there are any number of republicans willingly switching to vote blue this year. Was she attempting to open that door?

Some people are oblivious and obtuse.
Wouldn't bother me at all. In one ear, out the other or scroll on by.

I know someone who is always selling or peddling something.....multi level marketing products, home sales parties, homemade crafts, a trip to somewhere >> the more people in the hotel room or house rental, the lower the cost per person,  etc... I always say a polite "no thank you".
Her social media is filled with constant selling and peddling. I hide her posts.

Answer yes or no (depending on if you are going to watch or not).

Sorry but it's a simple question. Nothing to be bent out of shape over.

You can either be friends or you can talk politics. Sometimes friends weather through disagreements and that is awesome, but sometimes they don't. Tell your friend that politics is off the table, at least for now since it is hard for both of you to see the other's point of view.

My good friend is a huge Trumper. I absolutely do not get it. She gets Fox News updates on her phone over and over daily. She acknowledges that Biden won and thinks Trump should have conceded, but beyond that, she struggles to see anything really wrong with Trump. Her husband is gun collector and drills it into her head that Dems want his guns. He taught political science and knows a lot about politics, but has bought into some of the conspiracy theories and she follows right along. She posts ridiculous memes on FB and every once in a while I'll bite, and that pisss her off, but hey, if you post a lie, I am not going to ignore it.

Since you got mad before, and you know you'll probably get mad again, tell her you don't feel like getting angry so you're not discussing politics with her.

An old dear friend just posted a Fox News clip on Facebook this AM. I kept scrolling. I can't save her. 🤣

It would bother me if a friend appeared to rub my face in something she knew I was upset about.

I have a dear friend who is a Trumper. I cannot begin to fathom her politics and I don't discuss mine, but I walk the walk. We have acknowledged that it's a lightning rod that we don't want to grasp because to do so would ruin our friendship. It would deprive me of the friendship of a lovely, caring person, for what? She's not a monster; she is active in community service; and despite some of her stances on the pandemic, she sewed over 3,000 masks when there were shortages at the beginning. 3,000!

I also have some liberal friends who are on their high horses and that's harder to take than someone who keeps their own counsel. 

We have to be able to discuss issues respecfully to be able to understand what each side wants or there will be no consensus. Getting our panties in a wad because someone disagrees with us is not productive. I learn more from someone with whom I disagree than from the people who parrot my views. I'm tired of a country where we're all shouting at each other but nobody's listening.

Doing this is just so smart. So much is lost when talking about candidates but when you strip things down to actual policies, you can usually find some common ground and see where the other person is coming from.

If her statements made you mad they obviously involved something you care about. I don’t think I’d be bothered, but I’d be wary of her motive.

I’d then answer honestly. If she proceeds to debate I’d outright question her motive/goals for the conversation. Then I’d be honest about having some deep feelings or passionate political beliefs. This gives you an opportunity to either assert a boundary or ask for her input on bridging the gap while maintaining your friendship.
