I now mute people who are obnoxious on political topics

No matter what side they’re on.

If you disagree with me, but you remain pleasant (and talk about non-political subjects sometimes), I will NOT mute you. I can handle civil disagreement. But life is too short to tolerate jerks.

I'm also done with people like this. There was a time when the majority of people could disagree on political matters in a civil manner, but those days are gone. Muting seems like a good option to deal with this and I hope it makes your life here more pleasant. My preferred option is to ignore those who act like jerks, but if that isn't enough, I have no problem bringing the block hammer down on them.
