My whole family dislikes Donald Trump. So does my Church, all my friends, my local community college, and my workplace. My State mostly votes Democrat.
This community is a lot of fun, and it reminds me that I'm not alone. Thank you!

Lol campfire and beers are right up my alley for sure. For the few I've been able to convert, it's been about consistency and pointing out holes in their arguments. Also calling them out for shifts towards identity politics when discussing. Political discussion should be engaging not distancing; it sounds like your friends and family understand this which is awesome
You're right, consistancy and direct refutations of arguments is crucial. I always try to practice the Golden Rule as I argue from both right reason and human experiance, along with the Bible if the person is Christian. I don't talk politics with my family very often because they all know how I feel and I am not changing their minds, unfortunately. But yes, both sides of my family possess a culture where family is extremely valued. Differences in political beliefs won't even register on that Richtor scale!?
