It’s tough being trapped in a car with someone trying to force their beliefs on you. And you handled it well.

As a 'Damn Yankee' living in the South, I refuse to talk about politics, especially with strangers. Even if we have the same beliefs. My husband and I have different political views, and we agreed not to talk about it because our love is more important.

I’ve learned to shut them down immediately by saying, “I don’t talk politics, not even with my husband.” Some continue to talk, so I go silent and try to change the subject. Or walk away. If I’m stuck like you were, I scroll through my phone and ignore them. Purrhaps, I should start talking about my 5 cats 😻
