I used to do so often in person, but it rarely goes anywhere meaningful and often leads to conversations that do nothing for me. After years of that I've been burned out. Further I recently moved up to a larger employer and a more senior position and I'm no longer free to speak my mind at work, at least not if I want to keep my job. HR has a strict "no politics" policy, but as usual it only applies to one side of the political aisle. I've only been here a month th and already sat through conversations deriding the vice presidents sexuality, calling all gun owners deranged, and assumptions that anyone conservative wants to actively starve people in the streets. I know there are other conservatives here, but it just doesn't matter.

What a unique and special bit of Hell. You have my sympathies for putting up with that crap and my respect for being able to.

Well yeah convincing people takes a long time. However, I was hoping you have chosen to not engage in those topics out of your own choice instead of feeling pressured to and fearful of doing so. I rarely talk about politics to my liberal friends, but when they start discussing politics, then I make my objections known.

And you are promptly attacked while your arguments are ignored?
