My boyfriend of 4 years has different political beliefs

With what has transpired over the past week has brought back feelings from the election. my boyfriend of 4 almost 5 years has different political beliefs and i have struggled with this since the election. we started dating when we were 16 so our views and beliefs have kind of formed during our relationship and it wasn’t a topic of conversations in the early stages of our relationship. we have also been long distance for what will be 4 years of college in the spring so super serious conversations about these kinds of things isn’t what we spend our little phone time talking about.
However when the election results came out we had a bit of an argument when i was upset about the results and he wasn’t. he understood my views but that didn’t change his. after the assassination last week my heart has been heavy not in mourning but in disbelief that so many are only not outraged by this political violence when there are people fighting for their rights and dying every day. lgbtq+ facing hate crimes that’s are ignored, immigrants facing inhumane conditions and dying because of it. genocide happening in palestine snd people ignoring it. why is it now we decide to use our platforms to repost videos of a white male christian republican and being outraged. i struggle with how to approach this conversation with my boyfriend as i am afraid of what it will bring but as i get older my beliefs and values only become stronger. i don’t condone hate, but i don’t condone the hateful rhetoric that kirk and trump spew.
I guess where i am getting at this is i need advice how do i not let things like this come between people i love and care about but i know are supporting things that i cannot stand by. i don’t want this to be the death of our relationship but i can’t be quiet any more.
TL;DR : Me and my boyfriend have different political views, how do i navigate this in the current state of our work?
