I would say just don't talk about politics with him. The more he thinks you're going extreme in one direction, the more he'll put his shield up and go the other way.
Kind of a shitty relationship to be in.
Eventually it will break. Might as well plan on cutting ties now or sit down and have a discussion where they can meet at some common ground.
Once TDS sets in, you really can't cure it. I've lost good friends because of it. They truly believe I'm a white supremacist Nazi who wants to kill all minorities while at the same time excluding the fact that I'm half mexican who's mother came from Mexico and I'm married to an Asian woman who left her communist country to be an American.
I've dealt with the mental gymnastics first hand and it's really not worth the effort to save them. They truly believe you are the enemy. It's sad.
We don't well at least I try not to. It's gotten very bizarre actually. It doesn't matter what I talk about he thinks it's all about the same thing, CONSPIRACIES... Soo frustrating! He is very competitive & has dug into "everything u say & think is wrong cuz ur nuts" about literally everything!. I gave up a long time ago & now just wait. I know slowly but surly he will see things the way they are.
It doesn't change the fact that as a data collector that loves discussing ideas, understanding anything & debating all topics I no longer have an equal to brain poke. With everything I have considered since 2015 it has left me at times desperate for a firm footing in reality. Also, as someone very comfortable in my skin & in my company social encounters have never been my cup of tea however in all of this lets just say the unfamiliar notion of loneliness has become the only constant in my present state of being.
I will admit when he shows me a meme or an article or when he tries to explain a new truth that someone else presented to him 1 that I had attempted to years before a lil fire grows in my belly. I have never been 1 for I told you so's & although many will be due I only look forward to one. And that one appears closer & closer by the day. He is a good man. He literally thinks I'm nuts & yet has supported & protected me throughout this journey. I just get sad because I wish we coud have done it together.
