Another example why I don't really care to interact with democrats. I've had this type of discussion with some, pointing out the double standard, the hypocricy, and I usually get the vacant stare of someone who believes what they are told or the predictable " republicans are worse", which is sad, because there is plenty of disgust within the republican party, but when I've asked for a example....I can't get one.
That's about the time I know I'm dealing with a mind numbed robot and I need to move along.
Try not to engage at all and save your blood pressure from going up.
The discussion was with the daughter of long time family friends of my father. We were neighbors when I was a child and I had not seen them, literally, in decades. I'll be nice and say the families had grown apart because of the "differences in political, religious, you name it" thought, but my parents had kept in contact....They were thier card playing buddies and always tried to keep the differences separate in social gatherings, etc, but over the years had become difficult. Both families had moved and contact had been rare to non existant over the last decade, but I know my mom ( who is a little fiery at times) had a "discussion" or two via phone and aparantly wasn't cordial when, inevitably, the liberal felt the need to say something stupid..... Hope you get the drift.
So, I'm told they are moving from Florida back to Ohio...and are stopping by..... Wanted to see the family and go to dinner. I'm thinking...Ok, Im cool with it cause I'm not gonna say anything, just be polite, eat, wish them well, yada, yada......But they had their 40 something daughter with them, as ultra liberal a person you will ever meet and frankly, she could not be cordial and I listened to her drival as long as i could...... Actually, it was quite sad to witness.....Plus I could see my mom seething.
I don't remember every comment I made, but I ended the discussion by stating I came to respectfully see some old family friends and exchange old stories and pleasantries, but for the fact you have a bitter, self absorbed, selfish daughter who cannot keep her religious ( athiest) and political ( liberal) views to herslf, eventually re inforcing why I really have no time for democrats and our families have grown apart....
But I blame myself...I know the behavior of liberals and should have declined the invitation.
