An ex-friend of mine once had a back and forth when I tried to say I’m not a liberal, I’m a communist. And he kept insisting that since my opinions were ones that people think of as “liberal opinions” that makes me a liberal. It was very frustrating. He was a very frustrating person to talk to about politics in general.
I live in the US, I feel you. I came around to ML a little later in life, most of my old friends are just typical libs so I don’t really talk much about politics with them.

Confidently wrong is one of the most frustrating things to deal with.
