No jokes, I just I hate this woman and her paternalistic "benevolent massa" schtick.

    Also, the words "Shut up" can be off-putting. If you're trying to open a dialogue, I've found these words more helpful: "Tell me more,"

    "You'd tell me more, by not speaking." Does that work for you, Claire?

      I mean, if you're American, you know this. Robust protection for political speech is baked deep into the American Constitution and its psyche. And you know the cliché about opinions being like assholes, etc.
