Do you associate with folks who don't share your political perspective?

This is about someone I've interacted with regularly, for 10 years or more, and care about as a friend. While I make a concerted effort NOT to discuss politics, this person puts a political spin on one thing after another and always tries to get digs in accusing me of believing "fake news". 🙄 At that point I just shut down and stop talking. I have mentioned previously that I don't want to discuss these issues because he always tries to make it personal. Well, it happened again this morning.

Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but I'm considering just not talking to him anymore, and that's difficult. He's always been good to me, but in recent years has been more snarky and accusatory. How would you address this?

My Mother in law's just to the right of Adolf Hitler!
I tolerate her, handy for the kids to stay some weekends.
She can cook to.
