Well for starters you're trying to compare Adolf Hitler to simply voting in an election. That's a big leap.

Even if that were the case though, again I wouldn't care. They have every right to vote or support whoever they want. While I might not agree with it, i'm not going to end a friendship with them or look at them any differently just because they have a certain opinion on something that is different from mine. Just because i'm friends with them and they support something that I don't, it doesn't mean I support it just by being friends with them. I became friends with them for the person they are, not what their opinions or beliefs are. 

Otherwise what is the point of interracting with people if you're just going to not be friends with them if they don't have the same exact view you have on something, since everybody in the world has their own opinion. 

I believe in the saying "Actions speak louder than words". 

See the way I see it, part of the "person they are" is their values. I wouldn't want to affiliate with somebody whose values were repugnant to me.

It should be about what kind of person they are to me - hence they're my friend. They may be bigoted or hold views I disagree with, but if the're there for me what do I care.
