I have talked politics in the past with my friends, and it would often turn into heated debates with hurt feelings. Are you able to talk about hot button issues with friends/family/etc?

If they can’t respect freedom of speech then they shouldn’t be talking about politics anyways because they are probably wrong to begin with.

In a day and age way back I could. Today my family members from the other side are too nutty and tea baggerish to logically debate with. So out of love I just avoid the topic.

Most of my family is liberal and whenever I try to counter their oftentimes baseless claims they get really defensive, as if I’m personally attacking them by criticizing what’s wrong with the government. It can be frustrating when the topic comes up, but I usually manage to keep my emotions in check.

When talking about controversial stuff like politics and religion I typically listen and help them understand what they’re talking about.
I keep my own ideas/thoughts to myself, being agnostic about every subject it can be very confusing for someone to relate, so I don’t even bother.
