It’s your house, you make the rules.
I see no reason why even a divided family can’t get along if they avoid political subjects.
My boss believes all conservatives are either ignorant, stupid or evil. I have put a real crimp into his world view because he can’t really pin any of the three on me.
So he’s pretty much given up talking about politics around me. Though I must admit I pull my punches a lot because I don’t like to humiliate him. He’s really a very kind and well-intentioned person. Just misled.
You will notice that I am much more charitable in my views of his beliefs than he is of mine.
It's fun to bring on that puzzled stare, isn't it? LOL...

Ditto re our neighbors. We were casual-friendly for several months and got along well. Then my husband mentioned to the guy that I was doing some computer work to help out the Tea Party. The guy about choked. They assumed we were libs. We have a nice home. We donate a lot to charity. Hubby is PhD. We don’t fit the narrative of conservatives in their mind and they’re confused. (We’re probably the first they’ve ever known.) When I told the lady that most conservatives are exactly like we are, she did that tilt-headed thing dogs do when they’re confused. Funny.
