So maybe we should just cancel Thanksgiving this year?
Its probably an attractive idea to many of those now traveling over the river and through the woods for turkey, cranberry sauce and political arguments that promise more angst than a flat tire in a thunderstorm. It grows increasingly clear that the problem in America just now isnt that we disagree with one another.
It is, rather, that we hate one another.
You may think that an overstatement, but the word is used advisedly. Take the case of GOP senatorial candidate Roy Moore as an example. As you surely know, some putative Christians still support him despite credible charges that he has a history of perverted behavior toward teenage girls.
Now it arrives in this moment of existential chaos, this era when so many have lost themselves in cognitive dissonance and situational morality. An accused child molester for U.S. Senate? Really?
Yet even in this charged moment, over the river and through the woods we go, maybe not because we want to, but because we have to, because thats what you do. We will arrive to tables laden with turkey and dressing, cakes and pies and other good things, where many of us will sit in awkward tension and even open rancor with people we love because they are family and friends, yet hate because they are monstrously wrong.
It makes one thankful for Thanksgiving itself. However grudgingly we mind it, this ritual still binds us. It still makes us one.
And right now, little else does.

They know that our vote for Trump brought America back to life.
Leonard Pitts, Jr., is an anti-Thanksgiving turkey.
Exactly! Lennie can cancel his own Thanksgiving. As for me and my house, we will serve and thank the Lord for many many things this year. Trump, with all his supposed flaws, has been a Godsend!
Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday - lots of family, great food, giving thanks to God for all of our blessings, and no presents to have to deal with. We were all extra joyful last year with Trump’s election and I’m guessing the “high” will not have worn off this year, either. We’re lucky - only one young “skull full of mush” Berniebot will be in attendance and none of us hold back on our opinions (MAGA all the way!!) if politics does happen to come up.
It must suck to be a Leftist/Lib/Prog/Dem such as Pitts and to be wallowing in such misery, hate & evil; however, as much as he would like to project his bad attitude/mental illness on the rest of us, we do not consent to letting that happen & we’re happy, happy, happy!
A Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving to everyone.
Leonard the commie speaks
Why would anyone read what this hateful person writes?
JoMa
Hillary’s loss alone is reason to give thanks!
Well actually, we DO hate nasty left tards like you, Mr. Pitts.
But there’s at least 63 million of us who are extremely thankful that Donald J Trump is our President! Mr. RooRoo and I will be celebrating Thanksgiving with glad hearts.
I am previously acquainted with the writing of this vile bigot. He is indeed the Pitts.
What's this WE stuff, liberal? You're not in charge anymore.
And besides, I have long wondered why liberals celebrate Thanksgiving anyway? To whom are they thankful?
Hey, Leonard! You folks on the left have been hating us for years. Now that we are starting to hate you right back you get the vapors.
Pitts had no problem with hate when it was one-sided.
They should back the guy that supports sucking out babies brains and taxpayer funded sex change operations instead? GMAB, Pitts.
Last year my aunt made a stupid joke about the drink "White Russian" containing a "dash of Trump" and laughed like that wasn't friggin stupid. But aside from that, we were able to avoid political arguments cause we aren't a bunch of belligerent a**holes.
Sounds like the Traci Lords saga.
I remember some cable show documentary.
I've read your columns.
Perhaps YOU should quit hiding YOUR hate behind highsounding 'ideals'.
Thanks for not hating.
Just trial without jury and straight to the hanging part.
A disbarred attorney for a second term as president?
...despite credible charges that he has a history of perverted behavior...
This was 'credible' enough for...
These charges stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones.
Pitt: you are WAY too selective in your hatred sorry; I meant outrage.
Just ask them, "Why?"
WHY do they believe a certain way.
They'll think you really want to know and they'll think it'll give their claim legitimacy.
But they will soon find out that they do NOT know 'why'; only just mouthing talking points.
