Answer their question with questions. If they ask about your weekend all about their's then followup on a detail. They will talk for a couple minutes then end with some version of "hey great chat but I need to get a couple things done". If you want to remain approachable you need to give people the chance to talk but also don't really need to share much of yourself. Keep tabs on the easy things(kids, spouse, etc) and you have a lot of variations of very basic questions for a short conversation. How's kid liking school? Did you and spouse have a nice weekend? Then one or two follow up questions to them and you can end the conversation without the other person feeling like you blew them off.

Oh no he's a shit bag. He's just a politically adebt shit bag. A lot of the Ohio legislature is culture warriors who have no clue how to govern our have political savvy. DeWine came up the ranks when Ohio was still purple and knows that his veto will be overridden but by vetoing the bill he can appear moderate when he tries for senate or something in 2028.
They don't prepare them to take care of women and monorities either.
I feel like this is a good time for Dems to gamble and try to push through a quick impeachment vote. Gets it out of the way and allows the focus to be on the Trump trials and spotlight the vulnerable GOP house members.
I feel that this really sums up the sentiment that I notice in my area.
"Most crucially, major corporations crave younger consumers and lifelong brand loyalists. Outside of cable news, older consumers are less attractive to most advertisers. And younger people (meaning anyone under 45!) lean decidedly to the left. The most coveted 18-29-year-old demographic leans farther left than any other. Long gone are the days of the Reagan youth, when 18-24-year-olds backed the Republican over Walter Mondale by over 30 points in the 1984 presidential election, and corporate America catered to them accordingly."
The 55+ demographic has had the cultural and political focus on them their whole lives. Now that it's not catering to their opinions they are throwing a tantrum.
If you want that memorialize it like the holocaust museums. Don't celebrate it with a Monument.
It will never make sense to me why literal, text book definition traitors had memorials. The DoC did the best PR work in history to make that happen.
I don't see a difference
Anytime anyone scoffs at the idea Republicans will take the extreme right view of a vague law needs to just point at Roe and the states will 6weeks abortion bans.
Paul Erdos has entered the chat.
The big difference is Ohio wasn't a racial gerrymander, it was an unconstitutional (state) political gerrymander. But yes the play book is the same.
It's not it's just a little effort in remembering the couple major details of people you see frequently instead of feeling exhausted from the anxiety of being stuck in a conversation.
