My sister is the type of person that will argue that the sky isn't blue if I say it is.

She is a Demo-Commie although she's a RINO as far as voter registration.

Talking to her about politics is like putting your head in a blender.

Putting one's head in a blender is sadly very descriptive of how it is to argue with an ideologue.

+1 The day I read in a discrete mathematics book:

"A sentence that is either true or false, but not both, is called a (logical) proposition.",

I had to stop and take a break. That sentence made me realize that almost everything my grandmother and mother had said over the years was opinion masquerading as fact.

This is the M.O. of ideologues. Because of their arbitrary treatment of opinion as fact, there is no basis for logical argument when dealing with them.

"the type of person that will argue that the sky isn't blue if I say it is" This type has always been very common. Start by saying,

"I know you will always object to every assertion I make"

"No, I won't"
