Dialog 1
You: Hi, I noticed you have a Trump sticker on your car.
Friend: Yeah/ Isn’t that nice. I have a MEGA hat too. Actually, I have an extra one. Do you want it?
You: No, thanks. I am not really a big fan.
Friend: Are you kidding me? How can you not support the president?
You: Well, since you asked….for one-his handing of the Virus.
Friend: Come on/ No one could have prevented it. He did what he could.
You: Really? Well, I am not here to argue with you, but what about his support for white supremacists?
Friend: Oh/ That/ He was just joking.
You: You don’t joke about racists.
Friend: Hey, he did great things for America.
You: You really think so? Are you better off today than you were four years ago? And what about his views on woman and immigrants?
Friend: Don’t you think all that has been blown out of proportion. He has done a lot for immigrants.
You: And his views on the military and BLM?
Friend: Well, Let’s not even go there. You have your views and I have mine. Can we agree to disagree?
You: Of course, no hard feelings, right?
Friend: No hard feelings. Man, politics can’t divide us. We go back a long way.
You: So true. I mean after November 3rd, It will all be over.
Friend: Okay, then. Best of luck to your candidate/
You: Yours too. Take care.
ဒီ Dialog ေလးကေတာ့ Democrat ေတြၾကဳိက္မွာေပါ့ေနာ္ ။ ဒါေပမဲ့ မွ်တေအာင္ Republican ဘက္ကုိလည္း ေဖာ္ျပေပးမွာပါ။
Dialog 2
You: Hey, I saw that lawn sign you have. Biden and Harris, huh?
Friend: Yeah/ Don’t you think they’d be great? I’d love to see Biden in the White House.
You: Well’ I’m a Life-long Republican.
Friend: Come on, man! What’s wrong with Joe?
You: Nothing, I guess. He seems like a good man. I am against what he stands for.
Friend: Really? Such as…..
You: Well, where do I start.., I hear that he wants to defund the police.
Friend: No, that’s not correct. He wants to reform the police. Don’t you think that’s a good idea?
You: That’s not what I heard. I heard ” defund” not ”reform”.
Friend: All right, is there another reason you won’t vote for him?
You: Plenty/ For one, he wants to legalize Marijuana. I don’t want criminals running all over the city.
Friend: It is true that he wants to legalize Marijuana. but that’s a good thing. Remember when they tried to outlaw alcohol. All the harm it
caused. Marijuana is no different. We are wasting our time, our resources and turning ordinary people into criminals with the laws we have today on Marijuana.
You: Well’ I don’t like it.
Friend: What not to like. It will free up prison space for the real criminal, and allow the police to focus on real crime.
You: Whatever. What about immigration? You don’t think the US should have borders, huh?
Friend: Of course, we will still have borders. Biden is just against keeping children in Jails and breaking up families, that’s all. You should understand that. You have children /
You: I don’t know. I know one thing. We can’t keep on feeding all the world’s poor.
Friend: All right/ This is getting nowhere. Let’s just forget about politics for now/
You: Agreed. I won’t try to change you and you don’t try to change me.
Friend: I can live with that. Take care, my friend.
You: You too. Take care/
