Every year, it's the same thing - lecture your relatives from the left.
Here’s what we learned after the ugliest presidential campaign in modern times.
The voters you blame, whose ballots -- for Clinton or Trump -- so mystify and offend you, are not a distant, unfamiliar America. They are sitting across the dinner table, or the office cubicle, or the bed. They are your parents, your siblings, your friends.
Who wants to have that tough conversation, about why they voted as they did and about how it makes you feel? Just about nobody. So we avoid it. But like it or not, these people are in your life. The holidays are upon us. And deep down, you may actually want to have this talk. You may need to have this talk.
