I’ve been having the same conversation with my kids for weeks now.

“Daddy, look, it’s that car you hate.”

“Daddy, we saw that car you hate.”

“Daddy, that car you hate just drove by.”

Finally today I was like, “Can you please stop calling it that? It’s not that I hate it. It’s just poorly made. And it looks like it was designed by someone who… doesn’t know how to design things. Because it was. And I think we can all agree about the ethical ramifications of buying a car from an avowed Nazi.” So I mean I guess maybe I do hate it, but it certainly gives away my political beliefs when they bring up that car I hate in mixed company.

It also depends on what we mean by “take issue”. I generally don’t think I have ever had a strong reaction to someone disliking any public figure. I can’t think of any public figures who don’t have some reason you could find to dislike them.

If they’re going to have some major argument about that then they do seem a bit odd to me.
