in this day & age.... not surprisingly that absolutely anything at all can morph into a political issue.
so far, all these existential issues have been co-opted into political ones (climate=nature ; vaccines=health ; LGBTIXWtFX=biology ; finance=economic liberalism)
I have a lib girl. Been together a long time. She had gotten 3 or 4 shots. She still believes in climate change, blah, blah, blah.
I have been down many of the loops others here have done with friends and family.
We don't talk politics anymore. I look around and I don't expect any friends or family members I had prior to 2020 to be around past 2024.
There will be upheaval, pain, and loss in the coming years. No need to force it.
We can only work on our selfs; pray, build strength, endure the storm, see what the new day brings.

Sports, weather, health, grocery, gas, cars to buy, where we can shop, what we can say, what we can buy, what religion we can practice, ...
