I am tired of rolling with it. Every time one of my relatives says something stupid, I usually just smile and nod, rather than getting into it. But I am tired of my lack of response being taken as assent.
So, from now on, I will simply say that I do not agree, but do not wish to discuss the matter further.
Sometimes I think half the problem with the Left is that they just assume that everybody agrees with them, because people just don’t want to deal with it.
I have printed the words “You stole my bicycle” on the back of one of my business cards. When somebody wants to get into it on Roy Moore with me, I hand them the card and ask them to read the back. After that, I insist that they refer to me as “accused bicycle thief...”

Well said. They rarely venture out of their little echo chamber. And when they do, the are in for a shocker. And when confronted with the facts they can be irrational, even violent.
WARNING!!! They will jump on you like a rabid dog!!! Leftists cannot tolerate ANY dissent.
You've been warned.
Just ask them, "Why?"
WHY do they believe a certain way.
They'll think you really want to know and they'll think it'll give their claim legitimacy.
But they will soon find out that they do NOT know 'why'; only just mouthing talking points.
My response is fairly consistent, friendly and sincerely joyful.
“Im happy to discuss this or anything else with you so long as you understand what will happen. Eventually my logic and reason will overwhelm your emotion and you,having no argument left, will start swearing and calling me names. But, Im ok w it if you are : ) “ Nearly 100 percent effective and we move on.
