ayrt - it is totally okay to decide that you can't be friends with this person, by the way! If it goes against the grain to avoid these topics, then keep on as you are - and let the friendship fall where it may. The people I'm this careful with are mostly people I have compelling reasons to stay friendly with (I'm heavily involved in a hobby group with them, or they're people I've known since I was wee, or it would cause drama in other relationships, etc.) But "your politics make me want to retch" is a totally valid reason to back way way off on a new friendship. And she may make the same decision about you, and that's her choice.

But if you do stick with the friendship over the politics, and it works and you two genuinely learn to like and understand each other a lot, if you're very, very lucky, you two may be in a position later to re-evaluate; if her feelings on politics (or yours) start to get more moderate - you can be there for each other to talk to about it - as long as she knows you as a person who'll listen to her as a friend who needs support, not a political opponent.

I'm actually pretty moderate if you look at my views overall, and I used to be way more conservative than I am. 0_0

But, yeah, maybe we can just...avoid politics? It just makes me sad, I guess. It lowers my opinion of her as a person. Oh well. She's part of our group of mutual friends so I can still enjoy her company - and like I said before, I don't want to cause drama.

And it's not that she's conservative that bothers me - it's that she's a vitriolic, hive-minded super-conservative. Like, to the point that me disagreeing with the fact that the U.S. is in the middle of a (imo) pointless war was to her equivalent with me spitting on (those words!) all soldiers including her family oh and also I'm now un-American. And she's usually really nice and sweet to me. (My statement, "The U.S. hasn't fought a necessary war since WWII [my opinion]) was met with a splutter and lots of periods, ellipses and exclamation points, like I was being batshit insane. So, yeah...that attitude.
