I have heard stories, some probably true, about liberal relatives trying to get their conservative relatives fired from their jobs because of political beliefs discussed at Thanksgiving Dinner. I can do without that crap.

Since Mom died, there are exactly *zero* libtards in my extended family.
I miss Mom, but I don’t miss her stupid libtard bullsh*t.

Equally wary is Janet Yieh of San Francisco, who said she and her family of four will be the only non-Trump relatives at a Thanksgiving gathering in her ancestral home of De Kalb, Texas, where, she said with a sigh, everyone is opinionated.Says the person from San Francisco!

I’m going to dinner with a newly found cousin. I have no idea what her political proclivities are; fortunately we’ll be in a public cafe so there shouldn’t be too much shouting.

I’m lucky...No moonbats in my immediate or first layer of extended family. I have plenty of 2nd cousins, great-aunts, etc, that are leftwing true believers, but I’ve never been close with any of them for geographic and chronological reasons.
