I had a similar experience last week. My aunt is in her late 70's - hates Trump for all the reasons the media tells her to. She lived in Nevada and I hadnt seen or talked to her since the 2020 election.
Anyway she moved to Colorado to be near her daughter (also a Trump hater) and I drove down there last week. She said when she went to get a Colorado Driver License she got turned down because (she says) a divorce she got in 1961 had her name spelled wrong and because of Trump (she spit his name at me) voter laws she couldnt vote for Biden... I said in a jolly voice "well, Biden won so he is the President and you must be very happy. Maybe you should write him a card and he can fix it for you like he is fixing everything in the country right now."
She was stunned that I didnt mention Trump - I was being sarcastic but she didnt know it so the rest of the visit went pretty well. It felt good that I didnt rise to her bait, it felt like I won.
