    Engagement nearly led to the end of our relationship in 2020. I countered her shit statistic of cop-related deaths (something like less than 100 in a year) easily with a Google search. She said she would choose to believe the number she read. I just about told her we would never speak again after months of moments like that. Only by blocking all politics could we remain family.

      I get it and I expected as much. I would not engage to heavy either tbh, I totally get your problem and dilemma. Just a simple, ‘that is not true’ or ‘you have been lied to’ and then move on. She gets to drop nuggets of indisputable nonsense, you get to drop yours. Anyway, good luck!
