Not much reason to be friends with someone if they're going to threaten you with ending your friendship over having different opinions than you. To me, it's almost in the same vein as people threatening suicide if you leave them. Don't fall for manipulation tactics that would punish you for "wrongthink". If you're able to have a topical friendship with them that involves neither of you discussing those topics, go nuts. I would say that "My way or the highway" thinking is a shitty and entitled way of keeping friendships, but I guess we all have lines drawn somewhere for the kind of company that we want to keep.
