I had something similar with my cousins husband 3 or 4 Get Rid of Assault Rifle cycles ago.
He started going off on the evils of “assault” rifles and I tried to counter him with facts.
After a while, I had to walk away because his little liberal mind was incapable of cogent thought.
They live in Chicago and are totally blind to the carnage there because it’s in the low rent area and doesn’t affect them.
He followed with an email further blasting me. I replied with an analysis I did on FBI Crime Statistics.
Crickets followed.
My son, a good conservative, and his independent/liberal girlfriend sometimes debate politics. My son uses facts and rationale, she emotion. She gets angry with him because, as she told him, he is right and she doesn’t like it.
Fabulous ending, there. Great little story. Thanks.
