You DARE Challenge the Fuzz?! @Lord Zedd

@Old Man Hound responding to you from much earlier, sorry to hear you got into a screaming match with your dad over it. One thing Ive found really helps is I tell my parents I vote Libertarian, not Republican. They think I’m a cooky vote waster instead of the ‘enemy’. That really helps a lot. You can still have the exact same positions but it’s not taken as hostile, just eccentric.

At least it worked in my case

Sure, sure.

I was trying to softball the discussion as well.

Asking questions more then trying to drive home a point.

My mom is watching the impeachment hearings all day on CNN. So shes worked up into a proper rage

That might work up until the TDS tips over into the "neutrals are the enemy too" territory...

That sucks y'all have to deal with that though

It works for my family so far. Can’t speak for everyone. Its literally me and the wife vs everyone els

So I just declare Gary J the second coming

😂

That way I dint have to pretend to be liberal

Don’t

How do you watch the impeachment hearings, even if you're a Dem, and come away

I'm glad I don't have to deal with that... that sounds rough

Well my mom sadly doesn’t have a lot else going on in her life

CNN is spinning their coverage so hard.

as if were in a washing machine?>

Like I said shes worked up into a proper rage about it

But its directed solely at orange man bad. So Gary J doesn’t even really compute. And you can make the same points at the dinner table

If it’s not too late, give that a try. Might be a little lie everyone can live with

If you’re wearing a #maga hat it might be hard to suddenly switch over to LP believably

😂

Probably...

What a state we are in where people have to lie in the holidays just to get through them in peace

Can't even ask basic questions about your personal issues with how you feel the news portrays facts.

Even questing the source of facts is considered heresy. Like actual heresy.

I tried to show my dad the covington kids long form footage

Wasn’t interested

NPR had already told him all he cared to know

Ridiculous

And they like to say we're the irrational ones 🤔

What’s funny is my Dad is an old school dem so all this woke shit is anathema to him

Yeah the Covington story is so weird.

Can you convince him to listen to any other source of news and get back to you with what he thinks and why it is wrong / right?
