    I know quite a few people who say this because they don’t want an argument. People can care about politics and not want to talk about it with you.

      Very true, and those more inclined to engage should be respectful. But the refusal and shutting down of the dialogue is damaging in itself.

      It turns people into lone rocky outcrops buffeted by an ocean they inevitably fall to.

        Wonderful imagery. Talking about politics with your peers and creating a community of ideas is how good grassroots movements are able to take hold. The more we avoid doing that, the easier it is for fascism to thrive.
