About 15 years of friendship possibly coming to an end over politics and the election

Me and (B), both late 30s, have been friends for almost 15 years. Honestly after a decade of knowing someone, you stop counting. I guess I should just jump right into it by saying that I know not all Republican voters are Nazis and KKK members, but these hate groups seem to feel that trump and the Republican party share their beliefs. And it says something to me when you vote the same way as the KKK and Nazis. I started this fight, that will probably end our friendship, by asking her who she voted for, knowing full well that she doesn't tell anyone about her political beliefs. In the past I've always let it go, but I've reached a breaking point on this issue and asked "wouldn't you want to know if I was a Nazi and had those hateful beliefs?" To which she responded the following:

I understand where you're coming from but just cuz somebody voted for someone you don't like doesn't mean you should cut off friendship and family they are good people and even if you was a Nazi I wouldn't want to know because I know you are a good person and if that is something you do it's none of my business and I really think that's a bad idea to do just because they voted for someone you don't like just cuz people believe different things doesn't mean they're bad they want to do what's best for the world and sometimes different people believe different things but you shouldn't cut them out of your life and but if that is something you want to do I will respect that cuz that is your choice and your decision and you should respect other people's choices and decisions and what they do doesn't matter what they do in life who they vote for what they believe in what they celebrate if you believe that they are a good person and you don't have a problem with anything else about that person why end friendship why end familyship

Me: You wouldn't want to know if someone was a Nazi?! Do you really believe someone can be a Nazi and a good person at the same time? B, Nazi's aren't good people. I know not all Republicans are Nazis, but all Nazis and white supremacists and homopobs and misogynists voted for Trump because they see him as one of them

B: So say someone was a Nazi but they've learned figured out a few things on their own they learned it and they became a better person but they were scared to tell people that they were because they would be judgeing them for what they did in the past and instead of who they are now people have done a lot of things in the past that they are not proud of and they are trying to change for the better and you know them now and you know that they're a good person but you also learn that they did bad things in the past and you know they're trying to change for the better you still going to end a friendship with them I believe there are people out there who has done bad things and the past and probably regretted doing them later on in life and now they're just trying to be a better person and I have to believe just because somebody believes in something I don't doesn't make them a bad person I mean l'm going to be honest I met someone back in high school that didn't believe in God I didn't learn that for about 2 years but I didn't stop being the friends with that person just because we believe two different things

That right there was the last straw that broke me and made me start crying my eyes out. I understand what she's trying to say, that people can change for the better and become better people, but I'm not talking about EX-nazis, I'm saying I have a problem with CURRENT Nazis/KKK members and the people that vote the same way as them. And to just hear how much effort she was putting in to not criticizing Nazis, but also kinda comparing being an atheist as the same as being a Nazi, really broke my heart

Honestly, I've known this break's been coming for a while now. The person I was 15 years ago is a stranger to me now, while B has practically stayed the same. I was a misogynists that believed women shouldn't have a choice on what they do with their bodies. I was homophobic and believed gay and trans people were sinners destined for hell, while also feel disgusted and hating myself for my own queer feelings towards men and others genders. Then in 2016 Trump came along and completely shattered my reality on everything that was right and wrong. Seeing all the good Christians talk about Trump like he was a saint and not a devil really made me start questioning everything. Now I'm a bisexual liberal Democrat that has even dated a couple of men, and trans, and nonbinary people

Maybe there was a time when politics didn't matter, but those days are long gone. And as for my family, I'm the favorite uncle to way too many nieces and nephews that I love more than myself. So I don't see myself cutting out my family completely, but as far as new and future relationships go political beliefs matter
