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!
Wow. It's like you know me without ever having met me. NOT.
My reason for kindly offering up a strategy to avoid politically-charged conversation on Easter (and it would be charged in our divisive age in which we live) is because of the very fact that for Leftists, politics is their religion. They have a felt need to proselytize others to their beliefs regardless of how it may make others feel. Most are more zealous than the most zealous fundamental Baptist. One can't share in a reasonable discussion with someone so very brainwashed to their cause, be they on the Far Left or the Far Right.
Inviting them to share in a time together APART from politics is the most HUMANE thing a person can do w/ loved ones this Easter.
Swing and a miss, Z.
I'm sorry; I seemed to have missed it. What exactly is the strategy for religious holiday harmony?
Be as courteous as possible. But when somebody wants to take the conversation into the political, kindly remind them that this is a day set apart for this religious remembrance, and that political discussion can only take away from what can be accomplished today.
Every other topic is allowed. But politics is off the table. When asked why? Because politics only ever divides people. And that's not what this holiday is about. Quite the opposite, actually, if you think about it, what with God reconciling Man to Himself and all.
