[quote=Anonymous]I moved recently.  I've been so grateful to make new friends and get involved in some great neighborhood extracurriculars focused on our kids.  Think like swim team.  The problem is my neighbors are extremely political.  We can't have a conversations without politics coming up.  I deflect and do not engage - I've gotten good at this because of practice with family.  But it makes me so uncomfortable.  And the actively promote certain political stances on their FB pages that I 100% disagree with.  Why can't we all just keep our mouths shut and keep our politics to ourselves?  Didn't the old adage used to be never to talk about politics or religion?  These are nice working people who think that they have become experts on vaccines, masks, Afghanistan, whatever.  Believe what you want but for goodness sakes can we all just shut up about it?  It's downright painful.... I left DC to get away from all this political garbage and it has infected everything, just everything.
