“My wife who is clearly more intelligent than me has come to a different understanding of the world than I have. As I’m reflecting no further on the previous statement, this causes friction in our relationship, however I am not well enough armed to beat my wife in a battle of wits. Please can you come and show her a piece of your superior conservative intellectual firepower in my place. Really humiliate and embarrass her, enough to change her mind so she is accepting of my world view. I hope then she won’t embarrass me by walking all over my arguments that I half remembered from YouTube clips in future.”
