I feel your pain. My wife and her Filipino family are all libs.

How do you deal with it? I find myself shutting down.

Sometimes you just have to stay away from politics. My brother is a major lib, so we talk more about family concerns and I visit his studio to see what art he is creating. Family is about more than politics. When the going gets tough, my brother is an honorable man and I’d trust him hands down.

Luckily they, being very cool people, don't assault me with any nonsense. When we do get on the subject, they don't really have any points to make, they just follow their feelings and preconceived notions. I try to return the favor by not belaboring political arguments, but I do try to lay it out in a thoughtful way, relying on reason to hopefully sway them eventually.

I just feel sad to see the Dems deceptive race pandering work on smart people that I care about. It's depressing.
