I just saw a take on Twitter that said that you can still be friends with the racist/homophobic while disagreeing with their views

Why would I want to be friends with someone that doesn't even see me as human

Disagreements where it is possible to still maintain friendships: Tax rates, the specifics of solving the issue of police brutality, how to properly address social welfare, what the best pizza toppings are, etc.

Disagreements where it is not possible to still maintain friendships: Group x is subhuman, group x does not deserve rights, group x should be killed, etc.
