No...I just had a visit from a 50 year friend who traveled from Colorado to Oklahoma and stayed for 5 days with us.
She is a liberal...but one who is to the right of center and tho we tried to not talk politics...we had a good couple of conversations and tho she despises Trump, she talked how crazy some of her side of the political isle were acting.
But we love each other, and will never let politics get in the way of our friendship.
I don't avoid liberals, I can hold my own in debates....but luckily I moved to a state thatis more my leanings than I was living in before. Haven't met a lib here yet.
