As a 55 year old, I know where you are coming from. Since you are asking for advice, I would say keep your mouth shut, as much as possible. If asked your opinion, reply something along the lines of “Oh, I don’t know, what do you think?”. When given her opinion, reply, “Oh yes, I understand”.
As a side note, I was in Seattle just before the 2008 election, and was playing with my young nephews and their friends, on the sidewalk, in front of their house. One of the kids said “You’re voting for 0bama, right?”. My reply, “No, I don’t think so”. My nephew said “My Grandma and Uncle are staunch Republicans”. His pals all looked at me like I was an animal from the zoo!
Good luck !
Yes. Children these days are getting their brains filled with nastiness from the second they watch TV or film to the first day of school. The liberal areas are more and more totalitarian like.
