If you'd rather not talk politics w/ your Leftist relatives this Easter, here's a tactic to try.
- SALT -
Because Lefties can't help themselves, when (not if) they crap on Trump or anything MAGA is doing to correct the course of this great nation, gently but firmly tell them:
"There's only room this Easter for one religion, and it's not your political ideology or mine or anyone else's. I'll be glad to take it up with you again on Monday, but today we're celebrating what Jesus did for us."
If they can't abide by that, quietly and peacefully find the door. It's what Jesus did.
Happy Easter, Everyone. He is risen!
I just don't see that helping. They'll launch into the drivel about original sin of slavery (as if the U.S. is the only nation w/ such a history), and you won't end up avoiding a political discussion.
As I see it, the only way to avert such a distraction (which scratches where they itch) is to immediately draw the line in the sand by saying, "We're not going there today. End of discussion."
if their house on fire, you tell them and they decide not to escape.. it's on them. But if their house is on fire and you kept quiet because you don't want them to argue with you, then it's on you.
You're missing the point entirely. They come to the table with the attitude that they are entitled to talk politics and that, to respect them, we are required to listen.
You want to feed into that? Go right ahead. Not me.
No, I said we should debate them and calmly tell them your point of view and implement logical thinking until their head explode
