I'm a genXer, and my whole life I've had some friends with totally opposed political views. We'd shout about it sometimes, insult each other in jest then go on with our friendships.

So I don't understand this ideological purity bullshit in friends groups. What a strange world we live in that diversity is only skin deep, and doesn't embrace diversity of viewpoints too.

Unfortunately, as to your question, there's no magic pill. I'd say to find a hobby you like* to keep yourself busy and your mind occupied until covid ends and you can make new friends. Dwelling on things only worsens the problem.

  • A productive hobby. Consuming media (TV, movies etc.) all day is a gateway to being more depressed about your life.

Exactly. I have friends who have opposite views on many things. But some people into gender ideology end their relationship with me because of my gender critical views.
