Ive got a few relatives, inlaws, complicated family connections (like my son's bio family on the female side), and friends who are conservatives. Bright people all, but we are fundamentally different.
Every presidential election, there is a truce, where we don't discuss politics, though the Obama election caused some hot moments, and the hottest moment was when one person went to picket for Prop 8. A lot of the younger generation (and my spouse) didn't want to speak to her ever again, but we worked around it.
