I'm conservative with libertarian leanings. Most of my friends are left-leaning. I've worked in academia-related endeavors for 20+ years so I usually find myself in the political minority at work. There was a time when I would argue about politics but I've learned that friendship is more important than being right. I've also learned that minds are seldom if ever changed.
I say concentrate on developing good friendships and avoid political discussions at all costs. Whatever satisfaction you might get from "being right" or "winning" a political argument will only be gained at the cost of ill feelings and damaged relationships. It's not worth it.
