My wife still doesn’t understand. She doesn’t believe that Democrats would shut down just to be petty and lord themselves over their subject. The voters would toss them. I tried to tell her no one is going to replace Nancy Pelosi in her district. “Oh because you think liberals are stupid right?”. I don’t know how to respond to that. I didn’t want to be crude in front of my kids but I thought of saying Nancy Pelosi could commit animal mutilations on live TV and still win. I don’t know if that makes liberals stupid, or just vile.
Well Elon has a method to deal with people, watch how he counters boring Joe Rogan.
Might work in your situation.
