11. That's Right - there is no way to have a conversation with these people.
I live in blood red Indiana - and I can tell you I have stopped talking to so many of my friends and relatives in the last year. Because when politics or religion comes up - you always get to the point where they play their "stupid card." There is no way to trump the stupid card. The stupid card says "I'm willing to look so stupid that there will be no way for you to penetrate my thick skull with your logic and reason and you will walk away in total frustration." The sad part of it is - some of my rabid republican relatives are doing quite well financially - while lately I have been struggling. I feel like they have the trump card there too with - "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?"
