How to Talk Trump With Your Terrified Progressive Adult Children
PJ Media ^ | 1/16/2017 | Mark Ellis

If you’re like most American citizens, you’ve probably already personally confronted the place on the President Donald Trump love-hate spectrum that is opposite of yours. It may involve friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers. The singular characteristic of this dichotomy—though there are many points on the spectrum that are not absolute--is a polarized opinion of our new commander in chief.

Possibly the prickliest dynamic will be the interface between conservative parents and progressive-minded young adult children who have been steeped in a milieu of academic and cultural anti-conservatism. Such children—whether in public or private schools—have been propagandized by subtle or explicit disparagement of conservative viewpoints and ideologies since kindergarten. Continuing in elementary school, they were conditioned to accept without question the evils of right-leaning values and ideologies.

That’s a good strategy. They can’t handle criticism or being laughed at :)

I have had to keep my mouth shut since last Fall, lest I risk relationships with friends, family, co-workers, even the people I do business with. This town is filled with hysterical maniacs. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You really should give some serious thought about the implications of what you have admitted to here. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke

I am from Canada, and even I have had to just shut up around most people.

I am though smirking a lot right now and am looking forward to our “own” Trump one day in the future.

Oh, have no fear, I have talked and argued and educated all of the above, in years past, sometimes with good effect.

This year is different. The freakin' media and the Democrats have brainwashed otherwise sensible people into thinking Trump is the apocalypse incarnate. There's no talking rationally with them, they rant and rave and their eyes get wild and scared, and if you disagree with them they call you names and think you're out to do them personal harm.

These are friends and family and other overall good people; but they've been brainwashed, and right now they're freakin' insane.

When life goes back to normal in a few months, I'll try again. No worries.
