I no longer invite liberal friends and relatives to my house nor do I accept and invitation to theirs....They were given every opportunity to leave their politics at home but chose to keep shooting their idiots mouths off....while I haven't formally told them to but out I believe the message is beginning to dawn on them. Your advice on not talking politics with them can only works if they cooperate which they will not. It's been a couple of years now and I don't miss them ...truth is their absence has made my life richer!!

That's something different. What you are describing is people making it a point to attack your views and beliefs.
