When a liberal says something like "just remain their friend and don’t get involved discussing these issues and show them love. Just say you disagree if they bring up politics", I wonder how much of that response comes from them knowing very little about what they actually believe. Like, could they really explain how they arrived at their opinion or why they believe the things they do in conversation?

Or is it just like taking medication - "I don't know how it works but this is what I was prescribed"?
