I occasionally walk into political discussions I want no part of. Usually this is due to the yelling and screaming, but the most infuriating part is when both parties in said “discussion” are saying the same thing.

Invariably, I’ll get the question “What do you think?”

Here’s what I think, cornholios. If you are yelling and screaming at each other, you aren’t listening to the other person. You are giving a monologue to an unwilling audience, who wants his/her’s time at center stage. And you don’t care what I think, quite frankly, you just want me to back you up. Ain’t going to happen in situations like this.  I’ll just take to a chair across the room and contemplate why I own no puppets and why catfish sort of freak me out. Important things like that.

You might find out, if you take one minute out to give the other person a chance to make their position that you have more in common than you thought.
