My wife’s family has realized over the years that talking politics to me is a fruitless effort. My in-laws who are Jewish would vote for Hitler if he had a “D” next to his name. About 20 years ago, in an argument at Passover no less I said that to them after they made some stupid comment about Reagan. We didn’t talk for 10 years.
My liberal wife won’t talk politics with me. She will say something and when I respond the hands go over the ears with “LALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU.” For Hanukkah, we ate at my gay Sister in-laws house. She had CNN on the entire dinner. I didn’t say a word. They bashed Trump again because he’s a p*$$y grabber. I merely said, “please pull up YouTube and show me exactly where he said this. If you are referring to the locker room talk, he never said he did.” LALALA I CAN’t HEAR YOU” they all cried.
Want a nice Christmas with the family? Turn off the TV, eat your dinner and every chance you get thank the Lord for this fine bounty. Be grateful to the Lord for everything he has provided the family. Whenever a sentence is finished, say, “Amen.”
And let it go at that. Any libs at the table will be thoroughly ticked off and there isn’t a thing they can say since it is Christmas and they are sharing a holiday meal in your home.
I don’t go anywhere for Christmas and I don’t allow libs in my house so all of this pretty much moot, for me.
It’s just me, the ol’ man, the dogs and the snakes.
Two of those don’t talk and one knows better than to talk out of turn.
:D
OK, thanks,.. I’ll give it a try.
