Politics would not be the only reason a friendship is threatened. If you really want deep seated hostilities to flare, try religious discussions. I finally had enough of a radical anarchist “friend” of 40 yrs. spouting off about how Catholics are sexist, authoritarian and evil, even though he knew my grandson attends a catholic elem. school. I am no great Catholic but he went way over the top, once too often and I e-mailed him it was a voluntary organization, with no government backing, unlike the Islamic societies he likes so much and that he is simply a bigot. No response. Silence.
