Since there seems to be a divide between your views and your parent’s, ask yourself if you think you could have a constructive discussion about the causes for high gas prices on a level playing field.
If no, do not engage. Maybe ask them to not discuss politics around/ with you to avoid building tension between each other.
If you think you can discuss this with them, go for it, but stay on topic. There’s a lot to be upset about in politics no matter where you stand or what you vote. If you realize that you can’t close the gap, cut your losses and change topic.
But additionally, ask yourself why it is so important to you to discuss the topic with them. Knowing where you are coming from and what you want out of this might help to protect yourself from stress.
