I fluctuate between feeling like I should work harder to influence my family out of their Republicanism/close-mindedness, and feeling like it's pointless to even try. The few times I have tried to connect them about gay/trans issues or black lives matter I could tell they weren't really listening to what I had to say.
This Thanksgiving I didn't have a single political conversation, instead I just got drunk and played video games with my cousins. Gonna shoot for a similar Christmas.
