do I cut ties with a friend for 10 years?
background
met him & wife 11 years ago to go on a 3 hour car cruise to west of rocky mtn house
we did this the next year and decided to do it annually with a couple of,other folks to spread the word
it is now a week long cruise with 2 of us planning, booking hotel rooms and booking stops for entertainment purposes (last year we took on 2 more good guys)
we have a Facebook page and for the last 6 years did a lottery draw for the 30 places or spots on the week long car cruise as we have over 60 entries and 25 spots not taken but 4 organizers and 1 photographer couple
He has become a left loonie and his unemployed wife even more so
we don’t talk much politics as he hates ALMOST everything I believe in
he is a dipper or socialist really left leaning
with the 2 wars discussion he is getting even more radical
he had to go to a shrink for his stress after visiting a car website that has a political forum on a USA site
nice enough guy but I find myself becoming less willing to put up with his ideas,
he will not listen to ideas that don’t fit the cnn main-stream-media narrative
he is not a gun guy so won’t be on this site
I feel like quitting the group cruise as finding myself not wishing to spend time with individuals that will not rationally discuss important topics, and will not read or watch short under 10 minute podcasts or coverage of events to SHOW IN REAL TIME WHAT WAS SAID so there can be no spin on the facts
there are a few GOA employees of spouses that don’t talk to me anymore along,the same lines, just quote cnn headlines
with the law fare in the usa, with the lack of reason in todays world
example the 4 million bucks Trudeau spending on land mine clearing only if they are used by DEI groups the world is a mess
I enjoy reading actual coverage and commentary like victor david Jansen to form opinions on the world of today
do I just punt this guy or hide my distain for his lunacy
or check myself into a nut house for a month?
NOT asking for a friend
Thoughts without going into politics so the thread gets cancelled
seriously posed questions, how do you handle these life events
