My stepdaughter is coming to fix dinner. She's even further right wing than we are.... and gets lots of conspiracy theory stuff off the dark web. I try not to get her going on that stuff. Granddaughter is coming too and she is conservative.
But if I was having dinner with Mom and the middle Bro, both libs (oldest Bro is banished from my life), there is the same rule. It is usually honored.
But the problem that I see in years past, is that my lib friends have become leftists. And they are so fanatical, so righteous, that they just won't keep their mouths shut and will go on the attack each time I'm around them. So I'm not around them any more... I got real tired of the yelling and anger/frustration. Not for holiday dinner, not anytime at all. Never. I'm done with them.
But family is different... too much bad feelings that will be permanently around. I won't risk it by bringing shit up, I hope they wouldn't either. But if they did, I would try to shut it down quickly.
