I can relate. People are blinded by their stupidity... their desire to believe in their nation, their gods, and the crap they're taught as kids.
I hang in there, though, and keep giving 'em hell.

No. The US is hard. You have to respect the majority even when you disagree with it. That's what a democracy (or Republic) means. You have to accept the fact that you don't know everything and you're not always right to be able to accept it. I get outvoted quite a bit, but that's OK. I'm going to keep going.

My dad, as I, are Republicans yet we don't tend to talk politics around people all of us comprehend sense otherwise. after all, it rather is in comparison to we are going to convince them and that they are unlikely to cajole us, so it rather is purely going to commence a combat. each time we circulate over to my brother's for a occasion or Christmas, the fil starts with my dad after which the brother. My father will time him that he's conscious how he feels approximately those products already and that that may not the time to talk it, yet he will actual persist with my dad around to bait him. My father replaced right into a cop for 26 years, so it rather is not that trouble-free to bait him.

I will always believe that there is no greater country on earth than this one. Name another country that would allow as much dissension as we see here in the USA. Name another country where there is as much freedom and low unemployment. Anyone who is hungry or homeless in this country just hasn't contacted the right individuals. Anyone can make it here.
