    I admire your passion

    Thank you. I appreciate that we can have a conversation.

    I disagree that it’s my responsibility to hold others accountable for their politics just because we’re related

    Why wouldn’t it be your responsibility? It’s my responsibility, too, but as someone closer to them it seems you bear an even larger burden. It’s part of being in a society.

    I don’t think confronting someone over Thanksgiving dinner is going to win them

    Not if that is the only time it ever happens. Even then, it is better than doing nothing and let them go merrily along making the lives of everyone around them a little bit worse.
