My best friend and I have been inseparable since high school. We were each others #1s aside from our husbands. We don’t even discuss politics and I’ve never opposed her beliefs. We grew up in the same area but had different home dynamics and we are different races.

The last few years she has let her environment HEAVILY influence (almost want to say indoctrinate) her and she has become RADICALLY into politics. So much so that even our close friends (who share her race) think she’s off the rails and is adopting ideas that are really toxic. All this has caused her to decide that I’m not the kind of person she wants to be friends with and from other conversations she’s had with our friends sounds like it’s because of my race.

She didn’t even give me so much as a meaningful conversation about it. I asked and she blew me off. Just ghosted me during a time that I really needed a friend post partum. Only communication she did was post passive aggressive stuff on her instagram story and I was supposed to understand that it was all directed at me.

What do I do? Just mourn the relationship and move on with my life? Does it make sense that I feel angry at her? Do I try to fight for the friendship since it meant so much to me? My friends want to share their knowledge with her about the inaccuracies of her posts, should they even bother engaging, do people that radical even seem open to conversations like that? Why did she become this way and alienate those who are closest to her?(she broke up with her boyfriend too who was such an amazing guy and they were going to get married) Is she just going through something right now? Will she come around?
