Rant: My uncle shut me down for asking about his new truck's gas mileage

At a family cookout in Milwaukee last Sunday, I mentioned how my coworker's new electric car only costs about $30 a month to charge. My uncle, who just bought a huge pickup, cut me off and said 'we don't talk politics here' before I could even finish. It wasn't about politics, it was just math. Has anyone else had a simple fact treated like a forbidden opinion?

My uncle in Texas did the same thing when I mentioned solar panels. Some people just hear what they want to hear.
