My giant Irish Catholic extended family are all hopeless Libs. Sux. There’s no changing them. Just like there’s no changing us. I can’t even talk politics with my own brother. He told me under no circumstances would he ever vote for a Republican. Ever. I said the same about any a Democrat. We just leave it at that so we can drink beer in peace.
Such a shame. Such a waste.
Anyway, she’ll retire soon, so I won’t have to deal with the tension.
Thanks for all the insight, everybody! I will NOT be so naive again.
