Summary
Once, politics was something you debated and moved on from. Today, it can redraw the boundaries of who we call a friend. In this episode of Arguable, we ask a question that’s become uncomfortably common: when someone you care about stands for ideas you find intolerable, should you preserve the relationship or protect your principles? We explore how political identity has evolved into moral identity, how social media turns differences into declarations, and why disagreement now feels like disloyalty. Is friendship about shared values or shared history? Can empathy coexist with conviction?
