American Irony ^ | 11-25-15 | The Looking Spoon

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Just give them Tofu Turkey and grass from the lawn.

[BigEdLB]

Give them enough wine that they go to sleep. Drive them home afterwards so they don’t get into trouble

[Vigilanteman]

Take them out for a game of two-hand touch football on the front lawn. Then play tackle.

[CGASMIA68]

no let them head out on there own get locked up and F’em

[IwaCornDogs]

Make them clean out the guck from the turkey butt ... They’ll probably faint ~

[Vince Ferrer]

Add turkey deductibles. Everbody will be forced to contribute their own turkey. The turkey that comes from your oven only get distributed after the turkey deductibles are eaten and someone is still hungry. Keep raising the deductible every athanksgiving until you don’t have to cook.

[JimRed]

...passive aggressive approach...

Psychobabble.

[AZLiberty]

I think I’ll just take a Moochele-style vacation instead of hosting libs for a holiday they view as evil anyway.

Fortunately we will be eating Thanksgiving dinner with our conservative bitter clinger family where at least two people will be CC at the dinner table. :-)

[ScottinVA]

Hell no.. simply tell them to STFU about their politics or they’ll be removed from the room.

[ZOOKER]

Just don't invite them.

Send regrets explaining you found someone who needed a free meal more than they did. Extra credit: send selfie of you and homeless man sitting at their place at the table

[Popman]

Best way to shut them up is take the position they disagree with you on and turn it around to apply it to their position....

Since their argument against conservative positions are normally absurd, it makes them look stupid or ignorant...

[N. Theknow]

Remember well the Thanksgiving dinner my brother's plebe year at The Citadel.

Dad asked, "You haven't been speaking as much as usual since you got home home. Is there anything wrong?"

Brother replied, "No. Just afraid I might f*** up and say something wrong."

Luckily political discussions never come up at my family Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners.

[Conservative4Ever]

Assign them to the children’s table. It’s there for a reason.

[sheana]

I was gonna say....tell them to shut up and eat. Or leave.

[Lizavetta]

We are going to some friends' house tomorrow and everyone there votes Democrat. I will be the lone conservative (and not the way NPR defines me, by the way).

Thankfully, politics almost never comes up with these people. They know what I am and it's my impression they make a point of not saying things they know I am violently opposed to.

And I appreciate that. If they want to engage I will. But Turkey Day is not the time to do it.

[mulligan]

Tell them to stay home.
