Breitbart ^ | 11/24/2021 | Hannah Bleau

Most Americans are not in the mood discuss politics at the Thanksgiving dinner table this year, a Quinnipiac Poll released this week found.

“If you are visiting with family or friends this Thanksgiving, are you looking forward to discussing politics, or are you hoping to avoid discussing politics?” the survey asked.

If you want to avoid it then you better not turn on your television.

I plan to avoid.

Why would I want to get depressed and spoil everyone's appetite?

I don't believe this poll at all. So many Americans have learned their lesson and have cut the insane Leftists out of their lives and likely will spend Thanksgiving among mentally healthy people who can share political ideas.

The Leftists don't celebrate Thanksgiving for because they feel they have nothing to be thankful for, believe their own lies that it's against indigenous people and don't grasp the truth that European settlers discarded their Communist experiment ("failure of the commons") and had such a surplus that they could share it with the locals.

Well, since I have a "F*** Joe Biden! (And f*** you too for voting for him!) sticker at eye level on my front door, I'm guessing some number of my dinner guests are going to turn-around and either go elsewhere or go home hungry.

Just sayin' ...

For most of my life I have promised myself that I would not discuss politics on the job. Yesterday I broke my promise. A woman (old gal) said, “It looks like Biden is trying to do something about gas prices”. I went off.

My family runs the political spectrum from left to right so politics is something that has no place at family gatherings by mutual agreement. We have no trouble finding other things to talk about.

Nope. Playing nice is over. They want us dead or enslaved. Both actually.

It will be a breeze as long as they can ignore my “Let’s Go Brandon” ringtone and notification sound.

Wish I was that brave. I'm afraid of the cowards who will break my windows under the cover of darkness.

I wear my MAGA hat, and KAG hat out in public

Not sure I would feel like hashing this out over the Thanksgiving table, but I do hear and agree with you.

The problem is the chronic libtards get off scot-free. Until we vocally and publicly start holding accountable those who repeatedly vote in radical leftists whose asinine policies result in incidents like Parade killings (and I could go on and on), they will never end.

Maybe public shaming is what it takes for these morons to understand elections have consequences.

Exactly! I don't play nice anymore; when the usual woke suspects start spouting off I verbally beat the living sh*t out of them. I can't change their minds of course but I can make it painful for every time they open their stupid and ignorant mouths.

By speaking up one cannot make them hate one any more than they do, something most Republicans haven't figured out yet.

Your life is run by politics. How can you avoid it.

We are off to my wife's sister's for T day. In the past I have let the anti trump innuendo slide but I told my wife not going to happen this year. My wife surprisingly said: go for it because I agree.

I paid my dues for many years. To be kind to my wife I shut up and listened in fuming rage to my inlaws trashing Reagan and then Trump. It was for her.

But why can’t someone else allow my opinions? They won’t. Leftists are intolerant.

And much worse at work. Now retired after suffering every single day from being silent with free talking leftist scumbags.

I hope everybody gets into roaring fights. Why have a Civil War with only one side doing the fighting? (Not my original comment-—but I agree.)

I now associate with no one.

“Why would I want to get depressed and spoil everyone’s appetite? “

Our job is to spoil others’ appetite while we eat heartily.

To keep our consciences clear we’ll wait for someone else to bring up politics.

God bless you both.

Remember Leftists will have no hesitation in sending Deplorables to either concentration camps or death squads. ALL Marxists end up doing that: Cuban,Russian, China, North Korean, Vietnam....

“But my inlaws seemed sort of okay. Unless someone mentioned Trump and Reagan.”
