I have a number of friends and relatives with whom I do not discuss politics.
I have not cut anyone out of my life because of their political beliefs.

I have a number of friends and relatives who have cut me off because of my political beliefs.
It’s not so much that we argued about politics (because, as I say, I didn’t discuss politics with them).
It’s that they figured out that I wasn’t agreeing with them enough when they talked politics.
That was enough for them — they wanted nothing more to do with me.

No loss.

I run in to these types too. They suffer from a form of allodoxaphobia. It is not treatable.

If any give you another chance, have some fun with it with the “agree and amplify” approach.

How does it work?

Leftist says: “I support Biden because he favors working people.”

You respond: “He is a straight white male. Black candidates, women candidates, and gay candidates need a chance.”

Leftist says: “We need to stop using materials like plastic that cause global climate change.”

You respond: “You are so right. Look at your car—mostly plastic. You should get one without plastic next time.”

etc etc etc

Have fun! Hit them over the head with their own stupidity!
