(26M) Requested an apology from a friend (25M) and then got ignored for it?

Here’s a revised version of your text: --- This is quite a lengthy story, but I’ll keep it brief. Last April, I met a guy at the library, and we quickly developed a close connection. He introduced me to many of his friends and family, and we really bonded. He’s quite the argumentative type with strong beliefs and is unwilling to budge, but I didn’t notice that right away. I offered him advice on relationships and career matters, and I even sought his guidance a few times. Recently, we started discussing politics, and when he identified as a conservative, I mentioned that I lean liberal. He speculated that my views might stem from my father's liberal beliefs, to which I agreed partially, but not completely. He laughed and asked how much I was influenced by it. I told him I wouldn’t quantify it, and he took that to imply I was heavily influenced, subsequently trying to persuade me that my views aligned more closely with conservative beliefs. The next day, I brought up his assumption that my liberal stance was solely due to my father and asked him to apologize, as it didn’t accurately reflect my beliefs. This led to a conflict, and he requested that we meet in person, which I agreed to. During our meeting, he insulted my character, suggesting I only sought an apology because of low self-esteem, implying I wanted to control him and liked to argue for my own amusement. I asserted that he was mistaken about my intentions and reminded him of the ways I had supported him, not to boast, but to counter his negative assertions. He firmly declared, “This friendship is over,” and stood by that decision. I then sent him a final message before blocking him: "I’m not insecure, Charles. I’m quite content with who I am, even more so than many others. It surprised me how much the apology affected you, leading to insults and negative comments about my character. Everyone has their ups and downs in life, and while you often joke about yours, this time you took it seriously and hurled hurtful words at me. I’m not interested in maintaining a friendship after this. I don’t deserve that kind of treatment. Goodbye for now." We attend the same church, and he’s usually at the center of conversations, but now when I see him, I just nod and keep it brief. How could he speak to me that way? I’ve always been supportive and invested a lot of time in our friendship. **TL;DR**: An ex-friend made false assumptions about my beliefs. I asked for an apology, leading to a heated argument that ended our friendship.
