6. DO NOT discuss politics with them if they're truly friends

and you don't want to lose them. You'll never change their minds, not one little bit. I have cherished family members who are staunch Repukes and we never, ever discuss politics. There is, after all, plenty of other stuff to talk about. As Professor Henry Higgins recommended, "everybody's health, and the weather." It's like the wise advice about not trying to teach a pig to sing: "It wastes your time and annoys the pig." :hi:
