(46,179 posts)You live your life. You are as kind and friendly as you can be. You remember the old adage from my mom's generation that I was raised on: Politics and religion are not appropriate topics of conversation for civil social conversation. You remain true to yourself, and engage people who engage you first. You model the change you'd like to see in pov, but you don't attack, get in arguments, or burn bridges. You simply, when it becomes necessary, cordially agree to disagree. You lead by example, and you inform by example. You don't engage in hate, in identity politics, or in politics as a team sport. You stick to issues. And, most of all, you live your life: family, work, play, community, and activism. If there's no one to "act" with locally, spread out through a region. I can meet up with fellow progressives in the nearest small city, about 20 miles away, to talk, to plan, to act.
This is the same thing I'd be saying no matter WHO sits in the WH.
