This question’s on my mind because my coworker today mentioned they would vote for Trump if they could (mind you this is 2023, in Canada). I don’t generally have the talking points or the desire to fight about it, so I just deflected the conversation. But I often wish I was more strong-willed and could try to figure out why someone believes what they do and, if it’s invalid, then convince them otherwise.
Thus, I’m curious what you all would say or what you’ve done in the past!
I personally would say: “interesting, Why’s that?” And listen to what they have to say about it.
I ask myself the following: “does this person treat me well? Do they treat others well?” If yes is the answer to both questions, then I just move on. Who cares if they would vote a different way than you in an election they can’t vote in anyway?
