 Help me fellow nostriches, any idea what one should do (obviously asking for a “friend”) if you happen to see a relative in a “Harris Walz” shirt? 
 give them a hug. it sounds like they need it 🙈😝 
 Thanks buddy, “Don’t worry, meemar’s extra government overreach will make all your problems magically disappear.“ 🫠 
 Just ask them why three times in a row no matter the reasons they give. It will make them uncomfortable and maybe cause them to actually self reflect and give you the satisfaction of watching them squirm in their cognitive dissonance. Then change the subject to non political matters and have a nice time doing whatever you were doing befor politics came up.✌️ 
 More socially acceptable to the Japanese approach of 5whys for root cause analysis!!! I like it. 
 Say hello and I respect and my love of freedom & their choice to vote for whoever they want in the USA. 

Same as when I see my relatives wearing Trump gear.

 Nothing. There’s nothing you can do or say. They’re just lost and can’t be found.
