Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge.
Anymore, I don’t...
I know a few Democrats and they seem be apologizing for their party, explaining that they don't agree with it. Will they leave it? Not yet, they are in denial.
I stopped a few years ago. They make no sense, have no clue about the nations founding and get triggered about anything.
They are brainwashed idiots that have the same mindset as the harpies on the View.
I’m going to guess that your Mom, like many people of her era, watched network news every night, or at least regularly with no balancing input. Everything she saw on TeeVee just had to be fact from those nice people who read to her each night. I’m not making fun of her, because my own father, in his mid 90’s is glued to the network news. A once Republican, now is not, and hates Trump.
With respect to younger generation Democrats? My extensive experience demonstrates that there is no talking to them. Their minds are shot. They are incapable of reason. They are incapable of reasoned, rational thought. I have long ago given up with having a political discussion, or a social discussion with people who have lost the capacity to reason, they can only defend their tribe, their clan, at any cost, no matter how absurd.
I always just ask ignorant questions that pierce their bubble.
How many taxes do we need to pay the government for them to lower the global temperature?
You know, it’s great saying abortion is women’s health care, but what if it’s a woman that’s aborted?
Gun control? I mean, places like Haiti have fun control...
I thought Obamacare solved all that...
It’s amazing that trump was able to dodge the law for 70 years and they only went after him when he became president...
Dealing with Hamas is easier than dealing with dimocrats.
Ridicule them, call them names, point out their lies & hypocrisy, shame them, make fun of them in front of others, laugh at them.
A good amount of my day is spent in and around local colleges. Sometime in the covid days I decided it wasn’t worth my time to discuss politics with people my age (and it can get disrespectful to discuss it with my elders, when they’re Democrat voters).
Now and then there are exceptions but as a rule I avoid Democrats. My faith in humanity (in particular, common sense and honor) is already pretty low.
I stick to talking to sheeple. It’s not going well.
Think about parents who have special needs children..
I treat them like I’m the parent and they are the special needs child.
When I hear Democrats complaining about the rich not paying their “fair share,” I ask them to define “fair share”.
Short answer:
You can’t.
My best advice is to educate your kids on the ‘dog whistles’ which alert to the disease loosely referred to as ‘libtard’ but scientifically referenced as ‘humano stultus’, aka my favorite slur, “The True Pandemic.”
My life would have been quite different had I been exposed to that wisdom 30 years ago. I might also have been retired at 50...a retirement possibly pulled from under me.
*sigh*
I just don’t talk to them.
I have no contact with my libtard BIL and his even more libtard wife. Never made a formal break. After he said that Trump and *anyone* associated with him should be put in prison I just blocked him on my phone & don’t call him for any reason. He may not even be aware I’m ignoring him ha ha. I’m sure he doesn’t care.
My former best friend of 30 years and the Godfather of my daughter went postal after Bush W election and quit talking to me.
Outside of that I basically associate only with right wingers so it’s not an issue. As for strangers, if they say nothing, I say nothing. If they wear a mask, I go out of my way to avoid getting near them.
They know I'm a conservative, and I don't take liberal BS from anyone, and I stand up for myself and my beliefs.
Fire all their Nazi judges on the inferior Feral courts.
You punch through their arguements without hesitation.
Yes, you have to exempt your parents.
As soon as possible, I then segue into descriptions of the libtard's support of thievery and debauchery based on their votes. I am very rarely approached, on the topic of politics, again by the cretins.
Fortunately I do not have any libs in my family.
I had a liberal friend and broke it off with her two yrs ago because she had no empathy for me and other family members and yet she wanted all my attention given to her. She played poor and expected I pay her meals...I did not. Family and I finally decided to end it.
She LOVED Fauci and was angry with us when we refused to wear mask when went to TN = a no mask state at the time. She said “You are killing my mom if u don’t wear a mask”
Her mother died in nursing home during COVID and she was not allowed to visit her. It was all very sad

A related but equally compelling question is “how can you keep your children from becoming Democrats?”
One thing I did was tax their Halloween candy. I took as much as I wanted, whenever I wanted, and made sure to take at least some of their favorites. And I explained this is what the government does.
They’re all right leaning Independents like me and will be voting for Trump.
