Maybe I’m just a terrible person, I really have a hard time being friends with someone once I know they’re an avid Trump supporter. To be fair to myself I have a hard time being friends with anyone that talks too much politics in person. You guys are better people than me if you can talk politics and still be friends.

Do you have friends who don’t share your political views?

Familiarity breeds comfort.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm not much into politics myself, and if someone was super into it or talking about it all the time, I probably wouldnt be super close friends with them anyway because I dont share that similar interest with them. I dont think you're a horrible person for feeling that way. It is one thing to ditch a friend, and another one completely to just grow apart over time because you 2 are too different.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I have a brother and cousins who support Trump. I tend to avoid them when I can because I've had fights with them over politics. I don't have much friends IRL, and the ones I do hace just happen to agree with me politically, so all good.
