Exactly!

OP

To make it clear, I don't want to censor her or make her stop posting. It isn't my place to do that.

I would just like to politely ask her to tag her politics/Trump-defending posts so I don't have to see them on my dash, and be able to post my own anti-Trump posts without trouble on either side. I also don't want to antagonize her outright - when she isn't discussing politics, she has interesting things to say about our shared fandoms, and I really respect her as a writer.

Right now I feel like I'm working a delicate balance and hiding my own beliefs to keep up our friendship, and it's growing more and more tiring, with increasing tension in the air.

"I feel like I can't say what I want to say, because they say what they want to say." That's a You problem, not a Your Friend problem. Grow up, say what you want in your space. Because it sounds like all this tension? Is wholly coming from YOU.

You have a good point.

Taking this into consideration, I may as well post what I want. If anything happens, I can say it's my blog and I can post what I want, as she can post what she wants on hers.

Exactly! And if any disagreements start to form, take it as an opportunity to open a peaceful dialogue. You might change her perspective about some things. She might change yours, and if it looks like neither of you are going to see an argument differently, accept it as one of those things you don't agree on and move on to other things.

And it will be up to each of you on an individual level to decide when there's too much disagreement to make the online friendship worthwhile.
