Totally legitimate. I'm thankfully not in the situation but some people handle it by not talking about politics while making their position clear. This still isn't easy and not for everyone. I'm sorry to hear you lost your mother.

Closest I've ever come was a guy I had loose contact with who called my keffiyeh a "terrorist scarf" and bombarded me with racist and islamophobic BS until I said "just stop it" and left and never talked to him again. I don't feel close enough to say I burned a bridge and certainly not the last one but I'm not in a position to judge.
