“Over Christmas, we will all have to engage the known liberals in our families, because the future of America depends on it.”
Well, maybe not all of us. Mom used to be a lib. She’s now the most conservative of the whole family. So conversions do happen. (Side note: Carter - and the real-world impact of his leftism - turned her.)
Then again, most of the family live in Texas...
For the most part, these people are wired differently. There will be occasional conversions, but perhaps only after it comes home to roost for them. Other than that, they do not want their life disrupted, and especially by something so devastating as what is happening now. It is beyond their understanding, and scary. It is these same people who are the problem. They are in my family as well.
