I'm mainly referring to immediate family that you otherwise get along with.

Do you argue with them, let them rant, or just refuse to discuss politics with them?

I don't even get that argument from them, they just don't like him because they think he's a belligerent a**hole. Ok maybe he is in some ways but the guy walked into this as an outsider and was treated like crap from the Washington elite, media, etc. Yeah probably best not even to get into it. Or just find common ground and stick to those subjects. Sometimes they are trying to bait me into an argument.

I refuse to lose people I love over these discussions. Not too long ago you could sit around and debate topics with family and friends and even if things got heated everyone knew you loved each other and we respected each other. But right now I'm part of the problem because I'm angry. I'm angry about the fraud, I'm angry about how we've been treated these past four years and how they plan on treating us going forward. I'm angry about the complete lack of representation we have in DC. So when my family and friends refuse to discuss policy and focus solely on personality I get upset too. And I don't like to feel this way. I'm going to have to find something constructive to do with all this anger.
