EP #15: Friendship and Politics: How Differences in Politics Can End Friendships
Show Notes

On the Did You Know segment… Sunni and Lisa discuss President Trump’s COVID diagnosis and the actions that followed. *alarming*  According to the New York Times… the White House Is Not Tracing Contacts for “Super-Spreader” Rose Garden Event - Since President Trump’s Covid diagnosis, numerous associates have tested positive, but the White House has not aggressively investigated the outbreak. *sigh*


On this episode, Lisa shares her struggle with a lifetime friendship and the wedge that politics has driven between the two. At the end of the day, is it really about your political affiliation or your moral compass or both?


Lisa admits to being an @sshole in the beginning, but then decided to use techniques suggested by Dr. Campt on one of our previous episodes to engage in an effective discussion.  Do you think it’s too late?  Can fences be mended?   Would you be able to end a lifelong friendship over politics?  Wait, do you believe there’s a connection between your morals, values and politics? For the sake of friendship, would you reconsider your political ideology? Well, would you?  That’s a tough question, honestly.  It does make you wonder, how did two lifelong friends become so polar opposite in their beliefs?


Things get really real on this episode.  Vulnerability would be the appropriate word.  I’m sure Lisa isn’t the only one struggling with this issue right now, what say you?  Chime in on our facebook page… Active Allyship…it’s more than a #hashtag!  Well, don’t just chime in, follow us as well *smile*
