How do you talk to relatives who are politically stupid?

Posted on 01/27/2018 10:37:14 AM PST by Krosan

My cousin is an anesthesiologist. I think she is really smart, but she works 13 hours every day and perhaps doesn't have time to think. She is saying the dumbest leftist things, but I know she is not a bad person.

Perhaps you guys have some pieces of advice on how to talk with your family when they've been fooled like that.

Your cousin has been brainwashed by CNN. If you want to keep a family relationship going, avoid getting together too often & don’t talk politics.

I hope she had, or is still having, many good years as a result. 8>)

I met with some former Coworkers / Friends over the weekend.

Didn’t discuss Politics, but I asked one of them about another Coworker who had “unfriended “ me on Fakebook.

I learned she was pretty Liberal from her Postings and those of her Friends, but we had a sort of agree to disagree thing going. A few of her Friends went after me with a vengeance and I replied to me very specifically, calling them out for their personal attacks and lack of factual knowledge. Right after that, she cut me off.

All this time I thought it was about my Postings to her Liberal Friends. I come to find out that I pissed her off when I posted that Photoshop of the Confederate Flag lighting up the White House in response to Obama’s in your face Rainbow Flag lighting up the White House after the SCOTUS eviscerated the Tenth Amendment making Gay Marriage the Law of the Land rather than being a States Rights issue.

I worked with this particular Woman for ten years and now she thinks I’m some Nazi Racist or something. She failed to see the hypocrisy and hatred that POTUS Obama displayed against half the Americans who didn’t agree with that SCOTUS Ruling. Simply amazing.

>>>I have great respect for her and I am very sad that she is so stupid<<<

Don’t be, she is proud to be stupid and she would probably think you’re a Nazi if she saw everything you ever Posted.

Remember, it is much easier to be Liberal than Conservative. Being a Liberal means you just nod your head when told about every Liberal Utopian idea and everyone loves you.

Swooning while singing along with John Lennon’s “Imagine” is also a big plus.

So the expense was deeply appreciated by her, as well as, you. 8>) And her added years were less hampered by not having to take blood thinners for those years.

I never, ever talk politics with ‘em. It’s an absolute exercise in futility.

Never tell a brainwashed person how things really are. It will never work. Ask questions never give an answer. Let them think about it. Short simple questions.
