I’ve learned not to argue politics because they’re not going to change my mind and I won’t change theirs.

Everybody thinks the other guy is arguing from emotion and they're the logical one. In reality practically everybody is just parroting knee jerk talking points.

Fun fact: in competitive debating you have to be able to argue both sides of an issue. You don't even know ahead of time which side you'll have to argue.

Nah, just the one that can't deal with differing opinions without throwing a temper tantrum.

Now, I do get my dad getting mad at me for engaging in the debate in the first place because he knew the outcome beforehand and I should've just not engaged him in the first place.

frick that. You call their shite out and drop the fricking mic.

That’s another thing that’s wrong with the world. People think they can just run their mouths with no repercussions.

The problem with the modern day leftist is they are convinced they are smarter than everyone else. You can’t convince a narcissist they aren’t narcissistic so don’t bother trying.

You are doing a poor job at setting boundaries. Tell him early politics are a no discuss zone if he wants a convo with you

You kinda proved his point here by not actually responding to what he said. It has nothing to do with which side of the political spectrum you fall or Twitter membership... the vast majority of people are not only uninformed but unable to form real, logical coherent arguments. This was always true, including before the internet existed.

He lives in New Orleans and said that Cantrell has governed like a Republican. I just couldn't even begin to understand that thought process there.

My brother in law, who in any other situation is a very intelligent and level headed person, is still all ate up with the covid worry

When all of this shite first started, he refused to leave the house. He'd have his groceries delivered, then spend 30 minutes on his front porch disinfecting them.

Last year on Thanksgiving the men were outside talking, and the subject of masks came up. I mentioned that I wasn't a fan, and I avoided wearing them when possible.

My bro in law started freaking out. He said something like "My dad went to war for this country, and you can't wear a fricking mask to protect people?" Which was the strangest appeal to emotion I've ever witnessed.

I've since learned to stay out of any covid conversations with the family, because my opinions aren't very popular.

Now I just laugh at them.

I have a younger brother the same way.

You can’t argue with a pig in the mud. They like it and have a lot more experience!
