I think you should not get into an argument while having the conversation. You can tell them that as Bahais we don't participate in partisan politics. Also, that Bahais are all about unity. In my opinion you should not defend the person that you voted for. Rather you should say that as Bahais we vote for who we think will do the best job in office to serve the country then decide without prejudice, racism, or any other interference like that.
