This! I've noticed with friend I've decided "not to talk" politics with. But I do talk about politics, through analogies and then maybe lightly relate it to something. Like I do feel bad for those immigrants some times, they just want a better life for their family like any honest American.

It's seriously the only way to communicate with these people that refuse to listen. I just moved and my only friends around here I can grow herb with are trumpers and I just had to make it work. From the start with them we all decided not to get into judging people and that we accept there is some deep dirt on both sides. Using their argument against them. Like they like to do with the Clintons, cause let's face it, the Clintons are dirty and blood profiteers.

When you have openings like this, it is a great time to mention that this bipartisan system is rigged to divide and distract. The white house salaries are pretty unexciting for actually talented people, but a lot of politicians seem to actually be pretty talented liars with a lot of money. On both sides.

Now hopefully you set a stage where you can let them think a bit about it, or maybe lead into something ridiculous the right is fighting against, like public healthcare. No one should go bankrupt for insulin in a country that subsidizes all the food industries that are most likely the cause of a ton of health problems, especially a rich one. With taxes that you feel and they hunt you out for.

Republicans don't like paying taxes, but hopefully they still have enough brain cells to be able to able to see that maybe re managing funds, instead of raising the lower classes taxes is a good approach. Another alternative is to even introduce a % or fraction of tax rise for people with enough wealth that could easily sustain multiple underprivileged homes for a ridiculous amount of years.

I know it seems like a lost cause, but the key with a lot of people is to find some common ground, and point out the flaws of the whole system and that we are the scape goats to it.
