You're surrounded by Trumpers around a dining table. How to make points about Covid in 5 easy steps.

1/ Before you eat, place your hands together and tell your dining companions that you would like to say a prayer.
You are now in a very unusual position. A Democrat with a lot of Republicans listening to you.

2/ Now, in your own words, thank the Lord for bringing you all together, and if appropriate, the love or friendship you all share. You already have everyone's full attention!

3/ Now, say in your own words that you ask that the Lord gives strength to all those who are sick, especially those who are sick during this difficult time, and in particular to the unvaccinated who are the most badly affected. Say that you pray that the Lord blesses those in the medical profession who are under enormous pressure because hospitals are filled to capacity and that you hope the Lord helps to guide the unvaccinated to make the right choice before many more die. Note: you have actually been able to make points about Covid without anyone butting in!

4/ Now we bring the prayer back to something all will agree on. For example, thank the Lord for the meal you are about to receive and for continuing to bring love hope and inspiration.

5/ Amen!
You did it!

Something along those lines might work with MAGATs that don't know me. Them that do wouldn't believe for a second that I would want to start a prayer.
