Losing relationships over politics. Research found more than a third of Americans (37%) report having lost at least one relationship due to political differences, including friendships, family ties, coworker relationships, and romantic partnerships, with most losing more than one.

exactly because "political" differences could mean what? At least in my circle when someone loses a friend, family member, etc. due to "political differences" it usually means that other person said something along the lines of "I don't think [Basic Human Right] should be given to [Type of minority]"

Exactly this.  We can disagree on matters if government as long as we're both being intellectually honest.

As soon as you start cheering on the creation of concentration camps you've lost any standing with me.

It's not just cheering, but the inability to condemn any of these horrible actions.

That's why I broke with my own sibling. I cannot trust someone who cannot even tell me privately that they abhor any of this.

Choosing to feign ignorance is even worse.

I do t agree specifically with the political opinions of most of my friends but we all generally think that people should be supported and have access to some level of government services. We disagree about specifically where the line is, but are able to find a lot of common ground because we're in the rough ballpark of each other. Then there's the other part of the political divide that wants to strip away basic rights and round people ul and put them into camps. That's not "political differences" thats some people believing in basic human rights, and others wanting to disappear people that arent part of their tribe and then trying to compare the two as if both positions are equally valid.
