He did not respect my boundaries when I said "Stop it." He was rude and insulting as well, and turned it all into a "joke." Are you in therapy? Perhaps a good therapist can help you learn to deal with your loneliness in a more positive and healthy way.

Yeah it's the same situation, I have known him for years but had no idea he held such views. I'm not in therapy, no.
I tend to go on social media to talk to like minded people, but unfortunately they don't live geographically near me so can't really meet up. Really I need to see if there are people in my area who are similar. I am supposed to be moving soon so that might help as the town where I am going is more political in general, which might give me a healthy outlet for my interest in it.
