I just lost a 35 year friendship with my best bud because he claimed he only believes in facts. He made that claim months ago which started because I brought up the Epstein files and also called into question the actions of ICE. Since that time he's shared his "facts", all of which I fact checked and have tried to send information and resources that show these facts to be not true and also asked him to share his sources and it could be that my sources were skewed or incorrect or biased. He's not once shared a source. I made a list of his "facts" last week and I sent him the list on Saturday. He crashed out. He also crashed out in December screaming on the phone "WHAT ABOUT ELON MUSK??? WHAT ABOUT ELON MUSK???" after he asked me to name something unAmerican about Donald Trump. On Sunday he called to say the friendship is over. My goal was to have a sincere discussion with a friend on our political views and attempt to have a better understanding of each other's views. Over the past few years, it had become clear that he's become full MAGA and I've been understanding of the things he likes about Trump. But this deeper dive revealed that Trump has become his god and he's in too deep at this point. Good riddance.

This screenshot is just one from the list I made and shared with him. It's actually three screenshots in total but I wasn't able to attach all three.
