For what a single anecdote is worth, my experience is the political inverse of yours. I had many right-of-me friends who slowly stopped being able to converse with me without becoming angry or offended, and I'm very non-confrontational with friends and family. I always give them the utmost benefit of the doubt. On top of that, I'm not even very far left. But our friendships fell apart when they started using phrases like "disgustingly liberal". It's beyond awful what's happening to society. I can count my remaining right-of-me friends on one hand - they're more emotionally steady than the others had been, and can have disagreements without becoming bitter.
