4. I don't think it's possible.

I walked with a person that I considered to be a friend. Totally anti abortion, she had hers and no one else could have one. For a couple of years we walked several times a week. Me steering clear of subjects, listening to things that I let go. Finally Ohio pulled the plug on abortion. She had won and should be happy. I thought how great it was that she would stop with the abortion blather. The very first day after the election we had been on the trail only five minutes when she said some crude comment about ‘the trans’….I turned to her and said that I just couldn’t do it anymore. She had not a clue!!! It amazed me how quickly the old meme got replaced with the new. I’m so sorry about your friend. Unfortunately I don’t see things ever getting easier. The right is always waiting for the stab in the dark.
