When I’m up against a total opposite politically, I simply tell them they are not going to change my mind, and I am not convinced they are capable of hearing the facts..... So we need to agree to disagree. Especially with family.
I have a friend I’ve known for years. Her lauding over Hillary makes me angry... It’s funny how I really don’t care for her anymore... She sent a Goodvy-Silverstein anti Trump ad today. I almost went web searching to find the worst Hillary thing to send back, then decided to ignore her. Fortunately some posters under the ad make comments I would have loved to make!!!
I bit my tongue one day at lunch when my sister said her hero was "Mother Teresa" and her friend Joyce was also someone she looks up to. She then looks at me and asks who's my hero in life. I almost chocked on my sandwich because I knew this discussion was going in a BAD direction. Notice she can say what she likes and always wants to control the conversation. I knew when I replied she would jump on my answer and stop the conversation. Democrats do this all the time. It has sadly got to the point I try to avoid eating lunch with her.
