They deftly navigate the conversational minefields, substituting poignant anecdotes or pleasantries for political diatribes. Though politics may inevitably rear its head, it’s treated as a delicate guest—politely acknowledged but not overly engaged. After all, they reason, family bonds matter more than partisan posturing.
