    I generally refrain from discussing politics anywhere I’m trying to have a good time. People are really bad at discussing political topics without getting all riled up. It’s exactly the same as religious topics, people get weirdly combatant. I find it much easier to have a good time if you just keep that stuff to yourself as much as possible.

      Understatement of the century, lol. And social media’s influence has only exacerbated the overall polarization/radicalization, making civil discussion in that area feel like even more of a pipe dream as time goes on.

      let’s make it a drinking game! Every time you hear your aunt from across the table say that global warming is fake - take a shot!

      Same. Politics isn’t my whole identity and I like to take a break from it sometimes.
