Family members?
Love them for the people they are. You will not convince them to think as you think. All you will do is alienate them.
If things get as bad as the doomers say they will, you will need all the community you can get.
I do love them.
It hurts me to see them whistling past the graveyard. It hurts that we who used to be able to talk about anything and enjoy debating issues can’t do any of that. We try very hard to keep from saying anything we actually think, unless it is reminiscing about old times or talking about what the kids are up to.
The more time we are together, the more glaring the shallowness of the relationship is.
“Love them for the people they are. You will not convince them to think as you think. All you will do is alienate them.”
Exactly...
If you try to convert them to your point of view, you are going to be seen as a nut and they will not want anything to do with you...
