She attempted to bring up how the officers turning on Derek Chauvin shows that theres some good officers and I was having none of it. She's an extremely lib journalist and It was like talking with a wall. My boomer dad also backed her up. When I brought up how often police are abusers and such she said that the presidency is also corrupt and so is congress. Should they be torn down? I said yes and she said well that doesn't lead to a stable world when china and russia wanna swoop in and put gulags here. I was at this point so annoyed I just told her to look up imperialism, how capitalism exploits the global south, and how the united states has not enabled stability for any country that's not an ally of the united states' ruling class. Anyone have any tips on how I could have maybe radicalized her? I'm grasping at straws at this point and my family will probably make me out to be the villain.

    Honestly I think it's helpful. Nobody knows the best route to talking to libs, but if we share our experiences then we can learn are good strategies, what works, what doesn't, and when is the best strategy to just take a break.
