Wanna have some fun? Go somewhere you know there are Democratic party haters.

Will be especially fun if there are Hillary haters, and then say very positive things about her like:

"Hillary Clinton is one of the most sincere, honest human beings in the history of human politics"

"Hillary Clinton would have been one of the 3 best presidents of all time and would have done more to help average people than any prior president other than Barack Obama and FDR (tie)"

"Hillary Clinton was not owned by Wall Street" (they will practically have their hair on fire with that one)

This is especially fun if you are in a public environment, one example is in public at a restaurant, but there are other examples, where they cant really have a strong reaction without embarrassing themselves.

Then, to top it off as you are leaving the restaurant or wherever it is you are doing this, say:

"And Obama accomplished more before breakfast than your guy has done in 40 years"

(the your guy part is up to them, they can fill in the blank with lots of people, trump included)

"Well, you know, of course, that..." Only when people push politics on me, though. That no other politician ever has been so intensively investigated over a quarter century with nothing of significance ever found.

Can't say it's ever changed a single mind, but it's hard for them to answer. Arguing dozens of investigations is rude, and they seemingly haven't been provided with an easy catchphrase to trump and end a discussion they're completely unused to.

our back porch you have to walk past my dining area..my sticker "STILL MY PRESIDENT" with a silhouette of Barack....

Hubby says it is understood at the club house (our small 55+ community GC in AZ) "do NOT talk politics around Bob" - or you will meet his wrath....he comes home with his war stories..like he says, there is always someone who wants to push his button..he holds NO bars when he attack, but, then, he loves attacking the rethugs ..I have told him to stop having so much fun....he listens intently when I read the stories and comments from DU -

he enjoys golf and has maybe 3 or 4 friends who are dems, me, I love it when they all leave...

What I do is point out that Barack Obama was President for eight years and had zero scandals in his White House.

If they have heard the scandal of the day, and we start pointing out Trump's malfeasance. Then the conservatives in line's faces turn red. My wife doesn't really want to shop with me.

I also talk to a buddy who is a Trumpanzee on the phone in public sometimes. People give me the strangest looks. It was great at Ivars one day. We went to lunch and I was talking politics with my Trumpanzee friend. Every table around us had their jaws bouncing off the tables. We don't hold back. Hilarious.
