5. I have one or two I can talk to right now

But one of the close ones is the one I mentioned in the post that I had the argument with. And the subtle judgemental attitude is getting to be too much to take, especially since he's seen everything that's happened between me and my family, including all the struggles afterwards as I tried to make it on my own, and sympathized with me because of it all. It's how we became good friends.

It makes it hurt all the more that I can't talk straight so easy with him as of late, because of his recent right-wing indoctrination. If our talk even remotely touches on anything political, he starts to go off on a rant blaming the Canadian Liberal party for everything he feels is wrong.

The argument today revolved around a recent call for our union to vote on a contract negotiation, and I brought up how our pay raises are limited to asking for 1% max, because of a law introduced by our current asshole Ontario Premiere, Doug Ford. That was all it took for him to go off on an unrelated rant blaming liberals for everything. Then he got personal, and I hung up.
