I have found that, as long as politics are not brought up, I can have a blast with even alt r_ght _rumplicans! They may be a severly under-educated lot, but most in New York at least are fun to talk too.
I tried to have a game night where I requested everyone not discuss politics. I wanted to get this group of friends together that had largely split in two since 2016. Lasted 25 mins until a conservative made a comment about trans people in sports. When I asked him to not do that, he said “why are you upset? you’re gay not trans.” I was ticked, but I was determined to make it work, so I repeated the request to not bring up politics. Maybe a half hour later another conservative said something about not being able to afford food because of Biden. Then a liberal made a comment about republicans limiting voting rights. And 15 mins later the conservative who made the trans comment made a comment about replacement theory. Then a couple of liberals got upset and told him to stop being so paranoid. An argument ensued.
Afterwards everyone complimented me because they thought it went way better than they expected.
Carmen, like your idea, but honestly, I’m estranged from my own mother right now and she’s using other family members to communicate. All because I wouldn’t bow down to her and had my own thoughts on matters.

They’re united in their contempt of her idea, so I suppose that’s progress.

We all have more similarities than differences.

Putting our differences aside to work together for the common good I could get behind. But, just to enjoy each other’s company? Sounds like a scam.

Are you inviting opspecial, ultra ammosexual, sammy snyder, kat and alfred brown, because, you know, they’re not really bright?

That’s how bad it is out here.

Her idea might work if 1/3rd of the population didn’t want to kill the other 2/3rds. What do you think the 1/3rd needs the AR-15s for?

Since Newt, demonizing Democrats has been core to the Republican ‘platform’.
No socializing, NO compromises, Constant Campaigning featuring the most vile name calling, have been constants of the Republican ‘agenda’.
.
But Stantis wants everyone to just forget all that happened and continues all the time.
And enjoy, right?
