because he is a great friend we just have different political views.
i dont know this specific person obviously, or the nature or history of your friendship. but generally speaking, when people give me the "i dont let different political views ruin friendships" line, i remind them that we arent talking about small, nuanced. different views on deficit spending, balancing the budget, or foreign policy. the political ideology that he espouses accuses us every day of being racists, homophobic, anti-science, anti-trans, anti-women Nazis who are only days away from a 21st century holocaust where we kill every non-white straight person. he might not say that to your face, but his ideology believes that and pushes that message relentlessly.
i agree that more honest conversations need to be taking place between people with opposite views, but so far i havent met the leftist who will have that conversation in good faith. eventually when some simple logic blows grand canyon size rips in their ideology, they fall back on attacking character.
but maybe your friend is different, and he really is starting to see the truth. i hope so.

I can honestly say after almost 5 years of friendship I know where I stand with him. he even invited me to a DSO meeting which I attended and tried not to lol. when you show someone your not racist and they see how you act and talk to people with opposing views it can make a difference. we initially bonded over our love of the grateful dead. My wife and I have spent many nights at his house with his wife. they have came to our Christmas party, he was there for me anytime I called when my brother was loosing his battle with cancer. He is a great friend. shite even my hunting camp buddies like him, he took all the shite my buddies dished out to him at my camp and gave some back.
