One time a bunch of people who were important to me complained that I was violating their consent by exposing them to left wing political ideas they didn't like. It fucked me up
Oh wow, that is pretty fucked up. That sounds similar to what I've heard described as "weaponized therapy speak" — where terms from mental health therapy creep into daily vernacular and, divorced from their original context, are misused in a way that causes harm.
The archetypical example of this might be if a person doesn't remember a past event that their partner is referencing in an argument, they may be accused of "gaslighting". It's not always an intentional misuse, but sometimes it is deliberate and maliciously used to manipulate someone. A big example of that is someone making unreasonable and controlling demands of a person, and then getting annoyed if that person doesn't comply, because they're "not respecting boundaries".
I don't know whether what you describe would count as misusing therapy speak, but I do know that I feel icky about "consent" being used in this way — in addition to being a hurtful way to put you down, this feels like it obfuscates the actual meaning of consent.
Regardless, I'm sorry that happened to you; that really sucks. It must've been hard to feel like you weren't allowed to express your beliefs — politics are pretty pervasive, so even if you're avoiding actively political discussions, political subtext can seep into regular conversations pretty easily. Having different political beliefs to you was no excuse to shut you down in such a hurtful manner. I hope you have better friends now.
