re: My dad is a right wing a-hole

Andrew made some good points with which I can identify.

Over the past 20 years, I have tried to think more independently when it comes to politics. Since the advent of social media, I have witnessed lifelong friends become bitter toward one another over partisan politics. Some even refuse to speak to another from the "opposite side" and we've all been friends since we were kids. They all ask me what I think and I tell them all that it's insane to let partisan political thinking ruin friendship. So far, all have agreed and none have directed their venom toward me. Happiness and friendship is much more important. We're all human.
