1. Friends can easily be turned against each other due to political opinion because instead of looking at it and trying to understand each other’s perspectives, they may get caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong and arguments like this can end a friendship.
2. it is important to understand people who think different then you because they may be looking at it from a perspective you have never looked at it from before and you may gain information from their perspective that can change your point of view, or make your opinion even stronger.
I hope this helped :)
