I stopped talking politics with relatives about 20 years ago. Permissible conversational topics keep shrinking. I’m pretty much down to: “Nice weather we’ve been having lately, eh?”

Nice try, but “No Go There.”
“Warm weather today” = OMG We're gonna die! (Because Climate Change is Trump's fault.)
“A bit cool today.” = OMG We're gonna die! (Because Climate Change is Trump's fault.)

Along those lines, I have a couple of relatives who will say:

“Nice day. Partly sunny.”
I say: “Yup. Partly sunny.”
They say: “Are you crazy? It’s not sunny. Take a look. It’s partly cloudy.”
I say: “Yup. Partly cloudy.”
They say: “Are you crazy? You call that cloudy? Look at the sun!”
I say: “Yup. Nice day.”
They say: “Hmmmmmmpppff! I’ve seen better.”

But, yes, they’re just grumpy because Trump is messing with their weather.
