Maybe you can meet him in the middle to get his guard down? Despising all politicians by default is fairly based. From that you can find out if he's just uninformed, a low IQ NPC, or evil.
Where does he get his news from? Why does he think that about Trump? Does he think Biden is a pedophile? If not he's obviously in some kind of left-wing echo chamber. Does he use reddit, or worse, only listen to establishment news? Does he wish the shooter had succeeded and then gone after Biden? Does he consider the consequences of this political violence? Both from the spiritual and the revenge angles. Does he welcome a potential civil war? Speaking of spirituality, what are his morals in general? Does his family go to church? When does he think killing is wrong? Does he believe in bullshit marxist oppressor-oppressee dynamics? ("it's always bad to hurt the poor - it's always ok to murder wealthy elites and their pawns") What does he think of guns? What kind of government does he think we should have? Do all his beliefs agree with liberal orthodoxy?
I know you were just venting not asking for advice and you probably don't care about the guy that much. I just don't think it's possible to be an "apolitical" friend with him anymore. You might be able to save the friendship though if you can get him to be a little more rational. Otherwise for all you know he could be a psycho and you are in danger yourself.
