I Thought My Lib DIL and I Could Agree.......Nope!! My Liberal DIL and I got into a heated discussion on Thanksgiving; I thought it was just a discussion, she got very heated about it.  The conversation started out about women seeking $$ and fame from the entertainment industry and allowing themselves to be physically and verbally abused in the process, a la Harvey Weintsein. Now you would think that we could come to a simple understanding,  right? NOPE!   My DIL, who I love dearly and she likewise loves me dearly, decided this was her opportunity to "school" me on her perspective.  She being under the liberal delusion that only HER perspective is correct; and that mine, as a Conservative Trump Lover, must be blocked, argued, and shamed at every turn.  She was really starting to pick up steam - she is very smart and quick witted - and it had reached the point that I couldn't even finish a sentence before she would point out that my whole premise was wrong, etc.  She really felt justified in her mind to be verbally atacking me, as I obviously had a terrible case of "wrong think" which needed to be thwarted at every turn.  I finally pointed out the obvious, that we weren't really having a discussion by any means, as in that only her perspective in her mind was worth being heard. I told her that she was cutting me off mid sentence to argue her point, which she continued to do in arguing she wasn't.  I had had a long day,  and struggling with some physical issues that had already worn me down that week.  I was shocked at her veracity over what should have been a simple agree to disagree discussion and told her so.  I walked away from the table, decided to take my dogs outside, and left her with her mouth open.  Long story short, when I came back inside I made sure to be in another room from her for a bit, then I could see she was visibly upset after realizing that she had hurt me. I gave her a big hug while she was holding her toddler, our granddaughter, and told her it was okay and that I loved her very much. She apologized profusely for her behavior at the dinner table.  The moral here is not allowing yourself to get drawn into an obvious no-win conversation, and making sure at the end of the day, your Liberal relatives know you refuse to let their views change how you feel about them. My DIL had to decide whether she loved me or her ideals more; thankfully she chose our relationship.
