Trump supporters brace for Thanksgiving dinner: 'The hatred now is just unbelievable'
The Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, November 27, 2019 | James Varney

The self-described “last Republican on the Upper West Side” will join family for Thanksgiving dinner and arrive fully armored.

“Well, I hope to have a good time,” Suzanne Pederson said of the annual family celebration, “but I probably won’t.”

This will be the nation’s fourth Thanksgiving since Donald Trump was elected president and the first since the Democrats’ perpetually simmering effort to impeach him fanned into flame. That development has some professionals cautioning that even a perfectly cooked turkey and stuffing can be ruined by a political fight at the table.

Knowing few Manhattan lairs are welcome to President Trump’s supporters, Ms. Pederson said, she has no intention of mentioning the president’s name or policies, but as a guest of devout Democrats, she expects political topics to arise anyway.

“The thing I hate the most is being baited and falling for it,” she said. “When they sidle up and say, ‘Help me understand what appeals to you about him,’ when you know you’re on the Upper West Side and they’re not listening to a word I say.”

I ell my brother that I’m sorry he’s so upset and angry. I tell him I enjoy the drama AND my ballooning portfolio. I also don’t follow him on Facebook. If there’s an article I think he should read, I message it to him.

"Their hate is based on lies. Most Americans now pay little attention to the angry violent Democrat misfits who can’t stand hearing the truth. Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth."

Couldn't have said it better.

So sick of hearing about the hatred of those who support and enable sick people, even to the point supporting evil monsters.

Praying for the day truth is revealed and Justice is served.

(Sorry for the rant.)

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

God bless President Trump, his family, and everyone working to save our country, and help restore its Christian principles.

My friends and I have got a rule that pretty much ends the divisiveness. When we’re together, there are three topics that are totally off limits: Sex, religion and politics.

Keeps us on a nice even keel.

Being a Christian democrat is an oxymoron. It could be a sad meeting today with liberal relatives knowing they support the murdering of God’s creation. They are to be pitied. Instead of talking Trump, try talking Jesus and their Salvation.

Just wait until Trump wins again and RBG croaks. These people will go ballistic.

“How about”

Since you asked, no. Don’t pretend you can educate them. That’s an excuse. Tell the violent, degenerate, bigots to go to hell.

“I just say trump doesn’t help pp murder black babies like dems do....”

It never ceases to amaze me. The defenders of massive black abortion call conservatives racists who lack compassion for the weakest among us.

Liberals are the nasty ones

We conservatives are happy and polite

Bottom line. : Don’t engage. Don’t take bait

That’s the complicated answer.

“Screw you, leftist, for even thinking I’d associate with bigoted scum,” is the easy answer. Make Jesus smile.

‘Help me understand what appeals to you about him,’

I've been there--once. I don't even want to be around people who talk like that and life's much easier now.

I strive to be with kindred spirits in all venues that my presence presents. By striving to avoid companionship with those not so inclined to share my views on things I avoid the need to strangle those requiring engaging in extraverbal exchange.
As a side did you know there is a shortage of live Christmas trees this year brought about by not many being planted and the time it takes to grow them that being 10 years. That same ten years being back at the nose dive time when the first black resident took and occupied our whitehouse. Those still trying to cast a shadow on all things good are to stupid to see the the mistakes of the past .

A great comeback to your Leftard “friends” and relatives...Simple and concise...Leaves ‘em nowhere to go, and shaking their tiny pointy heads...

Go vegan with a tasty roasted Tofurkey, label a spare bedroom “Safe Space”, have the house temp at a very energy-saving level, play coffee house music, watch GreenPeace videos, do a yoga sequence, end with candlelight chanting and send all on their way in peace. Really confuse them.

LOL!
