People who think you can still be friends with others despite different political views are living about 20 years in the past. There's no longer some golden rule of keeping politics to yourself and still enjoying the company of your friend.
How exactly does that occur, if said friend espouses constantly leftist dogma in every day life? When their entire existent is how shitty America is, how racist it is, how much institutional white supremacy there is, hatred for our past and culture and more, how are you supposed to cope? Be silent and be abused? Speak up and have the shit storm of their emotional Armageddon come upon you effectively ending the relationship anyways in violent turmoil?
This isn't a liberal from 20 years ago. These are deranged far left Marxists who seek to destroy our history and people and replace the power at the top with themselves.
The only caveat being family is a bit different. While the above still applies, one must try to keep family close and love is hardly broken and lost. Sometimes you are forced to eat it and be the better person out of love and blood, even if they can't.
I had several mentors in my school days and career who were/are liberals.
They were fine people who did not push their views and fully acknowledged that reasonable people might have different views.
Those people are gone now. The evolution of the left has been ugly. They have morphed into a hideous caricature of everything they used to hate - bigotry, intolerance, closed-mindedness, and racism.
For those under its spell, it means they can no longer be friendly with anyone who is not in complete lockstep with their increasingly outlandish political views.
This sort of philosophy is chaotic and destructive, like a fire. It can either burn away opposition internally and then spread externally in the form of conquest, as we saw in WW2, or it can be smothered internally by those with principle and courage.
Take it upon yourself to resist this “resistance.” Denounce their bigotry and hatred.
