Well, this is someone I love very much....despite her liberal waywardness. We have agreed to disagree. But when she hits me with these articles, I feel I have to respond with facts. Maybe I am just working on a lost cause.
“I feel I have to respond “
You are doing it for Your feeling when you already know she is not ready to listen or really consider what you say.
I got super liberals in my circle of loved ones too. it’s like any bad habit (of mind or body) they have to be ready and want to change their way of thinking, if not you are wasting your time talking about it.
One thing I've learned the hard way - you can't argue with fools lest you become one too (or reason with an unreasonable person). The best thing is just to drop it and leave them be. They've already made up their mind even before the lines were drawn. Perhaps by osmosis she will hear some information from some source that will kick start her brain to think logically and critically and she will figure oI that she's been lied to and manipulated. I have seen this same type of thing happen recently in my own family but after they heard about the evil side of Hillary they changed their vote to Trump. They had no clue about her past. I told them what they actually do at Bohemian Grove (infant sacrifice to Molech and / witchcraft), the parties with a Satanic theme, and her long term relationship with a guy who wrote a book and dedicated it to Lucifer plus a little info anoint the Lolita Express trips and info from her past SS guys who protected her had to say about her.
They are protesting against the democratic process. AFAIK, none of them are suggesting that Trump cheated or stole the election.
Ask your liberal friends/relatives, "Who would protest democracy?." Normal people don't do that. The protests don't make sense unless the people doing them hate this country (or were hired by someone who hates the country).

You are violating your own agreement.
“You have agreed to disagree’.....
So- next time she brings something up, tell her you are NOT responding. You have an agreement to disagree...
End the circle of madness if you want to retain this person in your life.
However, as a person just days shy of 77, I can assure you that letting these people go out of your life will increase your happiness by many fold, decrease your ulcer & sleeplessness by many fold & you will then have more room in your life for friends who are CONSERVATIVE.
We all have only 24 hours in every day, and none of us know how many days we will have. I try to make the best of the days & I have learned to let go of the takers & the ones who are hell-bent on refusing to see the rising water...We need to drain the swamp & I can’t wait to find out all the hidden parts of the crap in that swamp. At my age, I have learned I cannot fix stupid.....
I match it to the women who won’t leave an abusive boyfriend/husband. AS long as you are spending all your time & energy living with the abusive person, you will NEVER have time to find a truly nice person who will love you and not beat you.
