How about a genocide? Can we still be friends if I can overlook a genocide?

Have you heard them say "friends" even in our tribal political society?
I see it more as:
"We disagree politically, but that doesn't mean we can't be friendly!"
Or:
"We disagree politically, but that doesn't mean we can't be civil!"
Everyone has strong emotions about certain topics, but that does not mean people can't talk it out over time to try and change their initial opinions on topics, especially family members or neighbors.
I get reminded of this:

I'm so tired of being told, "We disagree politically, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends!" Dude, if your political opinion is that children shouldn't be fed, that the poor shouldn't be housed, that the sick shouldn't be cared for, that women shouldn't control their bodies, that Americans can't marry who they love, or that certain people shouldn't exist... Yes, that most definitely means that we can't be friends.
