As someone already mentioned above, the answer to OP's question partly depends on your definition of the word "friend." A long time ago, an old man who was on his deathbed at the time told me, "If you're lucky, in your lifetime, you'll make one good friend." By that definition of "friend," I think my answer to OP's question would likely be, "No." OTOH, I have >500 FB "friends," and I know people IRL who regularly talk about having dozens, or even hundreds of friends. I think, by that looser definition, my answer to OP's question would be, "Yes."
Right now, we have a next door neighbor who has totally bought in to the whole Trump narrative. I wouldn't say he is my "friend," but we're neighbors, and we regularly talk on the sidewalk in front of our houses and, also, electronically by text message and email, mostly about current political issues. I definitely want to remain on good terms with our neighbor. Sometimes, he messages me and asks us to hold a package that's been delivered to his front porch for him until he gets home, and he does the same for us sometimes. Our neighbor lives alone, and is not a young man, so I've offered to him that if he ever needs help to let me know. I would gladly walk his dog for him if he ever got sick and couldn't do it himself. I've given him rides to go pick up his car from the shop when it was being worked on, and he would do the same for me. Our neighbor is extremely religious. I am not, at all. His whole worldview seems to be mostly motivated by a few core issues: abortion, gun rights, and prayer in schools, things I care little about. When I skim some of the articles our neighbor sends me and read his comments on them, I think of it almost like I'm an anthropologist, looking from the outside at a culture that is very, very different from my own. I mostly disagree with almost everything my neighbor says about politics but, yet, somehow, I find it hard to look away and just ignore him and his ideas.
I feel the same about FB friends who, recently, have been regularly posting things along the lines of #bluelivesmatter. I completely disagree with them but, somehow, it's never occurred to me that I would be better off blocking them on social media. I feel like keeping those lines of communication open allows me a glimpse into another culture of people who are very different from me but, yet, in the past, sometimes the distant past, we have shared something. Maybe we played sports together or went to school together or worked together.
