Wow, a lot of you guys in the first posts are just responding with joke hatred and violence. I am always surrounded by libs at big family events. If some political difference comes up, I enjoy meeting them in the true exchange of ideas, because in truth, conservativism always wins. I don’t ever fight or argue with my family and friends, but I gently talk about freedom. It’s what I would die for, along with of course my children. I believe in it, and even though the names don’t match up, it’s why I’m a conservative. I can also say that I love the constitution.
That usually gets a discussion going with a few, others will assume I am crazy because of course liberals are more free because they love pot and transgender. Bye, who wants to talk to superficials like that anyway. The ones that are interested are usually the libertarians, and we can talk and agree on many points, and if they get to the few where I disagree (like foreign affairs), I tell them why, and it’s at least interesting, and they get where I am coming from.
Now, new this year, I am finally smart enough to also tell them I hate republicans in DC as much as democrats, that to me they are part of the same oligarchy, owned by interests that are entirely separate from those of the People they are sworn to represent.
You may end up closer to people, and they might understand you better, if you try my way. I’d rather have people understand where I’m coming from than just think of me as a right wing freak.
But not many have open enough minds.

I understand where you are coming from but Americans have played nice with the left for at least the last half century but yet the left continues its march towards, unknowingly (or those few that know what evil they are doing), destroying this country.
You've kind of answered your previous sentence as the leftists are some of the most close minded individuals out there and no matter what you tell them, they will always see you as a right wing freak. Trust me, I've battled tons of them online, the only thing that makes them stop and think is pointing out the left's failures in this country as I stated above.
Even that they try to ignore or deflect to republicans are responsible for this massive debt too. And I anwer yes, there have been plenty of tax and spend leftist republicans in office as well but I remind them it is the left that owns the tax and spend big goverment mentality in this country that has this country in such a mess.
Then I explain how Constitutional conservatives are not responsible for this because we support the Constitution and it's limits on government and power that ensures the most freedom with the least amount of government. I also explain that Constitutional conservatives have been bastardized by the left to mean something it is not but that's so they don't see it for themselves.
The time for playing nice with these leftists are over if we are going to even have a chance to save this country. Pointing out the left's failures is a good start because no one wants to believe in something that has already failed and point out why it has already failed (the massive debt we have that threatens this country and future generations). It really is an easy argument to win these days with how the it has all played out and really, remind them if liberalism/progressivism is so good for this country, then why do we have a massive debt, as a result, that threatens to destroy this country at some point.
