It can be applied elsewhere too. Whenever politics come up, it's wise to initally talk about it in a neutral state.
Well, yes, but where I'm from the topic "Donald Trump" is not a political one, it's more of a "will you look at that shit show".
A lot has changed since 2016 and I will most definitely approach every subject in a neutral state, as I feel like more and more people are getting more stupid by the hour.
Ahh I see, then I'm part of the dummy ones it seems.
Indeed a lot has changed since 2016, but maybe people were always this stupid, although your comment indicates that you're pretty experienced in life already, so maybe you're right. I'm only 22.
Talk about current issues and potential solutions rather than ideologies or politicians.
Hmm an even better approach.
My London cabby also loved Trump. For some reason he just assumed I would be a fan since I'm from the US.
Maybe cab drivers are all just fucking morons?
And siphoning insane cash amounts from drunk people. XD
