None of those holiday political conversations ever really happen. They just show up on DU as Bouncy Ball stories.
lol They happen. Every year I go to a family party and invariably some lib has some challenge they practiced for all month, like “Oh, yeah? Bush cut taxes for the wealthy and that’s why unemployment is so high today!”
This year it was about Wikileaks and the First Amendment right for everybody to know everything. I offered to make the person’s name, SSN, address, cell number, and so forth public, and the result was an admission that there are some things that need to stay secret to keep crime down and prevent identity theft, so maybe FedGov has some limited interest in keeping some documents secret. Everyone was amused then we had dessert and the conversation drifted to photography and watercolors.
