Do you know what - it was actually a desperate attempt to change the subject. That might sound odd, but it cemented my view that actually when she shouts about right wingers being terrible people, she’s talking about some kind of entrenched racism idea she has.
I don’t really know why she does it. She is a very shouty person.
But faced with somebody making a point related to the economy, she closed down completely. Went to go and sit with some others. I suspect she’s actually not trying to have a political conversation. I don’t know what she’s trying to do.
I have learned some more things about her and I do have a lot more sympathy than I did, but I really wish she would get out of that habit because it genuinely can spoil an evening. If she’s not shouting about that, she’s shouting about menopause or ADHD.
I’m not a fan of shouty people - can you tell? 😂
BTW, I haven’t noticed it being bat shit on here but I think I’m not seeing many political conversations atm so that’s probably why. However, I have noticed that common sense is bizarrely lacking in recent posts. Some of the suggestions people have made when they were trying to be helpful, while they may be well intentioned, they are bizarre.
