“Say nothing. Not because it’s important to spare feelings or preserve relationships, but because what you say likely won’t be heard, and you’re dealing with people at a very critical period in their ideological journey. Many Trump supporters base their decision on a kind of oppositional defiance — they support Trump because they feel it upsets people that they don’t like. They didn’t think it would hurt them.

If they try to draw you into the conversation, it’s best to just shrug and say, ‘You know my thoughts on the subject,’ and don’t elaborate. There’s no point in it.”
