Oh man, sounds like it's gonna be a tough nut to crack.
If you don't mind my asking, @siggy47, how did you get to have the views that you have? It seems like a lot of your friends are in the highly educated, liberal, NYTimes/MSNBC bubble, but that you aren't.
You're right about my social circle. I think my politics were rooted in my childhood. My dad grew up in extreme poverty and was very motivated to succeed.
He was just a natural born free market guy in a sea of socialists. He supported Nixon against Kennedy in 1960. That simply wasn't done in a working class catholic immigrant community.
I found the whole Austrian economics/libertarian thing on my own in my late 20s.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Hope that some of your views will rub off on your friends.
They're hoping the opposite 😀

His wife is my wife's best friend. She is a dyed in the wool liberal democratic NYC college professor. I have a much better chance with him.
