Sometimes it’s really difficult to prove to people that they are wrong about their opinion.
When people get a certain sentiment in their head it is nearly impossible to convince them otherwise.
This pertains to all realms of the political environment at this point. I think all of us have seen stupid Facebook fights taking place over nationwide political events that none of us can actually control. Unfortunately, we also can’t control the thoughts and beliefs of our friends, co-workers, and family. Personally, I struggle the most with family. If I’m not fighting with my own family over politics I’m worrying about my in-laws thinking that I am a heating and cooling gold digger. For whatever reason, my boyfriend’s parents believe that I am only marrying him for high quality heating and cooling equipment. If this sounds absolutely absurd to you, it is. I have never been a heating, cooling, and ventilation enthusiast. I got together with my boyfriend because I appreciate his personality, not his profession as a certified heating, cooling, and air quality control specialist. Still, my in-laws have been convinced for 2 years now that I want him for his access to air conditioning units, forced air furnaces, and smart thermostats. They truly think I’ll leave him the day that he can’t repair our central HVAC system. To be fair, I did meet him when he was repairing my central air conditioning unit several years ago. I have benefited from his professional expertise as an air quality control specialist. It also doesn’t help that I suffer from extreme indoor allergies and he installed all of my air purification devices for free.
