With good friends and family, tell it straight to them when it come to politics and other opinions you might have.

If they are good friends, they won’t mind. What’s important with friends is how they treat you and not their politics.

What a friend got engaged, I told to him straigth up that he was making a big mistake. I attended the wedding. Sure enough, a few years later the marriage ended up in divorce and cost him a lot of money.

If you’re afraid to tell them the truth, then they are not good friends, they are merely acquaintances. It’s healthy to have political debates. It was the “manly” thing to do in early America. People who did not vote were not considered respectable.
