    I’ve gone through a similar thing. I made a friend in Jr. High and we were best friends for over a decade. We went through a lot together. Religious transitions, crimes, gnarly drug adventures, shootings, you fuckin’ name it. We had a very edgy way of looking at the world and interacting with it.

    Then Bernie came along, and we got swept into politics.

    For a while, we vibed like crazy on it. We went to rallies together, bought merch for each other and shit. We would talk back and forth about some things but ultimately nothing came between us.

    Until, he somehow found his way back into Christianity.

    From there, he descended into a homophobic bigot playing the ‘just asking questions’ card. I tried so many times to get him to see things another way, but it always ended up in a screaming match. Fuck, it was so bad that he was the reason for multiple relapses (I’m an alcoholic).

    In the end, I just couldn’t do it anymore. A person who I once sought comfort in was now a source of rage. I knew that trying to maintain that relationship would only result in pain and sadness. So I just…. Stopped one day.

    I’ve heard he’s having a kid, or had a kid. Maybe I should reach out… But I’d rather not open that wound. ❤️
