Several years ago, President Barack Obama's political team inaugurated an interesting holiday tradition when they advised Americans to talk about health care policy over Thanksgiving dinner. They were amateurs. After this year's election, with everyone hot to tell their relatives in America's heartland about the errors of their ways, Thanksgiving is going pro. A few talking points to help you:
If home is a Rust Belt community hollowed out by globalized economics and left with inadequate assistance for trade adjustment, mediocre schools and a porous social safety net, then, before the bird is even stuffed, lay into your relatives about how racist they were to vote for the candidate who made opposition to trade a centerpiece of his campaign. Deliver this one with extra force if they voted for Obama...

Like I say dude, now I know how they felt in 1861.
F’n leftards can’t set aside political disagreement for one day?
I’ll tell my relatives to STFU and watch football!
Try being a pleasant person some day instead.
Hahah!!!!
Yeah, the fireworks are something to behold, ain’t they...
Or should I say “waterworks”...

Already had “that” conversation with “adult,”(as in over 21 y/o) kiddos. Not pretty. So spouse and I declined Thanksgiving dinner invitation.
A renewed invitation arrived yesterday, so I suppose they’re somewhat over their grief and willing to have a reasonable Thanksgiving dinner with the folks. We accepted the offer. Nonetheless, I’m keeping my car keys handy in case we have to make a speedy departure.
The irony to me was that we put up with their tantrums, their disruptions, and their boorishness for years and then when our parents passed away she decided that she (and her family) were done with us.
Best of luck on your dinner. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Thanks.... best of Thanksgiving to you, with peace and serenity absent that wing of your family. We’ll see how we make out.
Of course, with crude people like you, it’s impossible.
Take a look in the mirror pal. I didn’t post anything nasty, just a bit of humor.
Thank you for confirming my Post 51
