The owl's take

Globally, the verdict is clear: voting differently and staying friends is possible, but not unanimous. Men are split fifty-fifty while women lean strongly toward yes.

Older age groups show no hesitation, while 18-24 year-olds are evenly divided: the question seems easier to settle with age than with political experience.

Voices converge on a central nuance: moderate disagreement is manageable, but total opposition puts friendship at risk. Several frame this as a matter of values, not just ballots. One telling stance draws a hard line at the extreme end, showing that even declared tolerance has its limits.
