You are 100% in the right on this. Just like one doesn't negotiate with terrorists, one also doesn't negotiate with Trumpers--they are terrorists, too.

I have withdrawn from relationships with Trumpists, including declining a marriage proposal.

Before 2020, Trumpist friends started trying to force me to agree with them and vote for Trump. They rejected facts out of hand and defaulted to Fox News talking points that were the same as Russia’s news reports. Even then the linkage was obvious if one just observed. They did not think for themselves anymore.

Those friendships were damaged permanently. Even if I occasionally socialized again with those friends we were never as close again. I am withdrawing more from them now as they are emboldened to openly express prepackaged views that are becoming more extreme than ever.
