I would ask them what the policies are. Republicans have no policy other than fascism and owning the libs.
Not true. They have some policy positions. They are just breathtakingly stupid and cruel.
Just this week, I drove by more than one billboard put up by actual local Republican parties saying "CLOSE THE BORDER!" Close the border. The border, over which THREE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS IN TRADE A YEAR CROSSES (over 5 million truck crossings and over 1 million rail cars), accounting for almost 37% of all US trade with Mexico. Mexico is the largest trading partner of both the US and Texas, and they want to....shut that down. These are stupid, stupid, not serious, very, very dumb people and policies. They literally propose an action that would cripple both the Texas and US economy. It's among the dumbest ideas I've ever heard, and I've watched a Greg Davis offensive game plan unfold.
And don't forget their other policies, like imprisoning women for getting an abortion, even if they do so in a state where it's legal.
How about the policy of supporting authoritarian despots who repeatedly launch attacks on American assets (including infrastructure right here in Texas) and those of our allies? The GQP loves them some Russia, so how about that policy?
Your Trump friends and family are shitty people with shitty brains and shitty ideas who support shitty things. You should spend your time convincing them that the most important Trump policy they should follow is chugging antifreeze.
