Any idea on how to deal with a family member on the extreme left? I have someone who interprets almost every statement someone makes as racist/sexist/ageist/classist/etc. I'm not talking about the stupid shit your old uncle says. It's more like I'm surprised I can even say "hi" to them without it being labeled as something bad. They are so far left it makes me feel like a conservative, ffs.

@Reciprocity It is a lose-lose situation: interacting to counter or agree with such an individual. I've often compared such situations in much the same manner as dealing with a drunk person. You rarely if ever have a civil discourse. Religion and politics always seem to bring out strange/strong reactionary feelings.
