I limit may association with lefties to a minimum. I have to many “good” friends and that is all I need.
My in-laws are ultra-left state union types. You know the type. They know it all, act superior, etc. They have limited the time we spend with them by being so political. They try to pick political fights with us, and I am not interested in that, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I just don’t want to be with them, and keep it down to a few times a year. My husband meets them for lunch more often, but I don’t go. And they pick lousy restaurants. No thanks, I’ll pass!
