I remember that the final blow that broke the friendship with my former best friend was the banning of Trump on Twitter lol!  

He was pissed on Twitter because they blocked Trump and I said something like: "Finally" and he blocked me after that haha!

He's a 'free speech' person but can't handle any 'speech' against him it seems. Recently he tried to reestablish contact since Mastodon blew up on Twitter but I declined! "Take your BS somewhere else, ain't got time for you" 

@stux

I cut all ties to some family and one of my best friends that I had for half my life.

Turns out he never outgrew his racism and it started coming back out once tRump got elected.
