5 Ways to Survive Thanksgiving Dinner Sitting Across From Your Sanctimonious Left-Wing Relatives
PJMedia ^ | 26 Nov, 2015 | Megan Fox

Anti-Socialism Plan When your twenty-year-old nephew emerges from his safe space and wants to start talking about the benefits of socialism and Bernie Sanders, immediately take his plate and redistribute his food to the dogs. Leave him with the green bean casserole and half a roll. If he complains, tell him he had an overprivileged plate and he's a greedy bastard for not wanting to share with the less fortunate animals in the house who don't have thumbs or the ability to work to buy their own turkey. Be prepared to use the safe space again.

And THAT is the primary reason I keep my distance.

It’s astounding the lack of “social skills” so many libs have. It might even be a core part of the phenomenon.

Every time one of them opens their big mouth, just say, “You’re fired!”

I have found it is best to remain low-key with my disagreements about faith and politics with family members who don’t share my core values. They are a minority in my family firmly stuck in a leftists world of academia and agnosticism, but my home and table are a testament to my faith and values. They return every year, they do not seek conflict over faith or politics (they are very polite), and we have a nice time.

I believe my family/home is the best reflection of what I believe. I also believe the testimony of our lives and those of our family is a positive influence. I would firmly and politely put an end to any nastiness if that were an issue.

My way to shut up the Left is to tell them about my experiences in Hong Kong during the 1967 Communist riots inspired by the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in next-door China. Can’t refute that!

Do people just go and eat?

When did it become a thing for people to show up at these and start arguments?

Yes, it is. We rightwingers are more civil at the dinner table. My brother is an anti American, union loving liberal. Try that for starters, and he’s just a fraction of the many libs at the dinner table..

If you have a t-shirt with Che Guevara on it wear the thing for the leftist relative.

I am talking about Dead Che laying on the slab.

there was a thread here the other day, about a website set up by Democrats, with talking points to talk to your Republican uncle about the issues of the day.

In my experience, it tends to be the liberals who start arguments about politics and social issues at family get togethers.

It seems to me that, just in general, the liberals are never happy. They tend to want to talk about all that they see wrong with the world and their lives, rather than ever wanting to count their blessings.

Oh no-— don’t do that to the poor kid! He might need councelling!

One year, we said no politics, but one lib niece couldn’t help but mention Barbara Bush and her stupid pearls! The same lib niece who spouted off about guns being so terrible, until I told her to put up a sign on her door — saying that it was a gun-free house.

I've considered getting one printed that says "Hands up, don't shoot!", and the farther down where I can tuck it in and then pull it out later, "Never happened!".

Exactly. THAT’S the easiest way to sanctimonious left-wingers.

In my house we have a rule. If politics is spoken, the minute the lib utters a negative comment that person is called an idiot. In my home during the holidays, politics is not spoken. We thank God for our bounty and tell each other how grateful we are.

It has worked that way for three generations. No point on changing it now.
