Chegg still exists!?

It is a pointless view that solves nothing. Flip it around, say “all (on both sides) are not guilty” and you might have a starting point.

Should I just declare to never talk about politics with them again since it’s pointless?

Yes. I thought that was obvious, when have you ever seen children being able to convert their parents?

Social skills are not something you can “learn” by questioning things like this. You have to live more of your life among people.

It’s like swimming - you can’t learn to swim no matter how much you study about it, read books or ask questions. You have to get into the water. And the first couple of times you’re in the water you’ll drown, tire out, may even feel frustrated or bad. But you’ll only be able to swim by going back in, over and over until you start floating. So it is with socializing with people.
