I used to try, to educate, to nudge, to try to bring the light of reason to discussions. But liberalism has become more and more of a cult, immune to reason or fact. I got frustrated and frankly gave up. Now I do what I can to nudge the undecided and strengthen the reasoning, but as for the libs, I just don’t bother anymore. I leave that for thoe more patient and better suited to the task.
LOL see, we all have our gifts! Actually, I particpate in a hobby that is full of liberals for some weird reason (dog shows) and so, unless I decide to give that up, I will be surrounded by them. BUT sometimes I do make my point and they get it. For instance, because we lived in TX for so many years and my husband knows something about the oil business, they listen when we discuss the topic. And, interestingly, we all tend to agree about illegal immigration (something the repubs are missing the boat on in my opinion— MANY of my liberal friends are sick and tired of illegal immigration as they see a direct effect on their lives).
