    No, it means I’m lying to them. If I say I don’t agree with their politics, I’ll get an ear full. If I lie and say I don’t follow politics, I can diplomatically end that discussion branch. Grow up liberal in a conservative family and you’ll get it. I’m not convincing these geezers of anything and I don’t want to waste my social energy trying.

      I grew up communist in a conservative family and I resolved the issue by having more patience and skill for debate than my parents.

      Also try pulling out the “this is why I don’t love you” on a reactionary parent. It cuts really deep 😂

        Lol, I got shouted at for just recognizing Michael Moore. Besides, I’ve been masking so long, I’ve been invited to represent my county in state ag issues and I’ve been tilting things to recognise Climate Change.
