My reply to my similar family members: “Two words: JIMMY CARTER.” Never fails to shut them up.
LOL! This sounds like my family. Hubby and I are conservative but both come from liberal families. Just watch CSPAN some jot down House and Senate bill numbers, refer to them by number and ask what they think of the bills? Once they have the deer in the headlights look wack them with Jimmy Carter remarks and the rest of the afternoon they will avoid you since you made them look like a fool.
