In the wake of the November 7 elections, in which the Democrats wrested control of Congress from the Republicans, there is bound to be some tension between people who support the different parties. Rather than let politics get in the middle of friendships, we might want to take Thomas Jefferson’s advice and find other things to talk about:
“I have never thought that a difference in political, any more than in religious opinions, should disturb the friendly intercourse of society. There are so many other topics on which friends may converse and be happy, that it is wonderful they would select, of preference, the only one on which they cannot agree.”
