Good post. Fwiw, I’ll argue for or against Trump’s ideas on political board. On the other boards I take all this much less seriously. In real life I seldom if ever discuss politics but I’ve always tried to be that way. Back in my Clinton years (most of my 20s) I would discuss it but lost interests in my 30s. In my 50s now. I joke around on here a lot but I have many friends who are liberals and conservatives, same with family, love them all.

I agree. It used to be that in polite society one did not discuss politics, sex or religion in mixed company. Phil Donahue and Oprah Winfrey changed that....they encouraged folks to talk about their deepest and darkest thoughts openly and without shame and folks liked it LOL. Now people will admit in a business setting that on the weekends they are a furry (this actually happened in a meeting I was in 2 years ago) and everyone acts as if it is just as normal as mentioning you have a wife and 2 kids. This country is at its best when people vote for who is best for the nation and calls that person out when they are acting a fool but to do the latter today one risks being labeled all manner of things other than a child of God....
