Differences of opinion have always been part of life, right? It’s nothing new to agree and disagree about politics, social issues, religion, and current events. But when we did disagree, it didn’t used to cause a break-up between family and friends.

And nearly two-thirds of people say they stay quiet about their beliefs because they’re afraid of offending others or getting beat up online. We’re living in a cancel culture, and it’s destroying relationships.
