A few of my friends lean to the left and I have learned that constantly pushing certain political conversations when it is clear we won't agree will eventually destroy my friendships with them.
I have convinced my left leaning friends that the left is currently pushing transgenderism in schools and that it is going way too far and that trans surgeries for kids are horrific ideas. I have also gotten them to agree that the mainstream media is constantly pushing propaganda and that feminism gives women way too many advantages. My friends are Asian like me and they agree that the left pushing affirmative action and DEI is horrific. They don't like the leftists pushing cancel culture and silencing people for opinions. They don't want to see Biden vs Trump as the two nominees in 2024 which I definitely agree with them on.
It is not too bad in terms of finding common ground.
Talking about COVID, gun control and Trump is where their otherwise sane opinions goes to hell. They refuse to acknowledge the ramifications of the lockdowns and how shitty the COVID vaxxes are. They still think gun control can help reduce gun violence despite seeing statistics of how gun free zones leads to more gun fatalities. They also really want to see Trump rotting away or receiving the death penalty and I disagree with them on that.
