When enough people in society begin to use a word and a new way it does not magically lose its old meaning. You just add another number under the word in the dictionary and write down the new meaning. There are lots of words that have many different meanings.

    I like how you handled this. You weren't harsh about her, you recognised the place the question was coming from. did your best to talk to her like you would outside of the dynamic of your show while keeping it light and jokey enough for everybody else there.

    Steve, that was a very well articulated response. You genuinely showed compassion and supported her while making the point to research her own ideals.

      Not to mention having a gay child. Apparently there are people who don't realize that, with drumf, you get the socially regressive republican policies, because he doesn't care who is hurt, as long as he has power.

    Thanks for the smiles & laughs!! I am 60 yrs old now & have voted since my18’th birthday. I was honored to be able to vote for a president 7 days after my birthday. My choice didn’t win but that’s how elections go. If done right .. no one is completely happy or mad.
    I’m a constitutionalist.

    Being informed takes effort. She is terribly uninformed about progressive and conservative or actual issues. But her Team is "Conservatives" or the "Republican Party." Like you said Steve, she is speaking and thinking in generalizations, and probably doesn't want to look into it too far. She just wants her team to win.

    Well put. Really wish I could send this to some of the folks I've known for 20+ years, but many of who, on their own accord, turned a simple discussion into a fist fight and I no longer speak to them due to such.
    Well. Freaking. Put.
