If no then do not confront
Confront is not the right word I should have used. Question in a friendly way, is more of what I might have done.
I like people, and I am a friendly guy. I like to try to figure out what makes people tick. I would not have been confrontational, just gently questioning.
I know you are friendly and wouldn’t be threatening....unfortunately anyone who is so stupid about socialism won’t recognize that. Folks like that tend to scream loudest when approached by us friendly thoughtful types
