        “Conversation”. That’s hilarious. I think you meant “incoherent tantrum”.

        Why do you even feel it’s necessary to change your Conservative uncle? What happened to tolerance, acceptance of others and a plurality of ideas? Do those exist amongst Progressives?

        Great. News articles now just assume that anything to the right of progressive = wrong

        Speaking as a Cranky Conservative Curmudgeon: Your asinine leftist opinions are wrong and foolish, my dinner table is not a safe space, my opinion is not going to change in the slightest, and your feelings shall not be spared, ya' crybaby!

        But of course you should still try, because as a leftist you are obviously in the right. Or you can just smugly dismiss him, because what could he possibly know that you, with your whopping 23 years of life experience & a couple of sociology classes under your belt, don't?
