This question’s on my mind because my coworker today mentioned they would vote for Trump if they could (mind you this is 2023, in Canada). I don’t generally have the talking points or the desire to fight about it, so I just deflected the conversation. But I often wish I was more strong-willed and could try to figure out why someone believes what they do and, if it’s invalid, then convince them otherwise.
Thus, I’m curious what you all would say or what you’ve done in the past!
You can act like a cult member and stop talking to them, or you can realize what’s important in life, real human connection, and just agree to disagree. As long as you guys aren’t going to call each other names, talk about it. But don’t go into it with the aim of convincing, go into it with the aim of learning. If both of you do this, you’ll come to clearer conclusions.
