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.

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

Wow. Thought I was the only one here.

Please note my other reply:

My Family spilt after 2016 - and fell apart after 2020. No more holidays together because of the Left Wing Lunatics who are all Union Members. They are always getting screwed by the Republicans - even though most of them make more than $100 Grand a year.

Thanksgiving was once the time to “get in their face”, wasn’t it?

Good Luck, politics though will rear it’s head and the fights will be on along with the vaccine status of those in attendance of the meal. My advice stay home and don’t go anywhere.

Anyone else remember, a few years ago, when Obama was president, Obama and his minions handed out talking points for the Affordable Care Act, to discuss over the holidays?

Some people are insufferable, sad to say.

I had a sister-in-law who was a leftist, and she would start on occasion at the holiday gatherings. My Mom and wife were like just let her rant. Sorry, I won’t start anything but I won’t take anything either was my reply. After a few go rounds she finally shut up about politics. Thank God my brother divorced the psycho.

The rest of my family are conservatives so it will be a Let’s go Brandon event if politics are brought up. About the only issue would be the jab, some of mine a pro-jab but not nazi’s about it. They know I am not pro-jab and will counter attack if they attack so it shouldn’t come up.

Yeah, no need to discuss politics. We’ve successfully avoided discussion and/or participation for decades.
And look at the wonderful, Utopian place our neglect has brought us!
We’ve acquired our chains the old-fashioned way. We’ve EARNED THEM!
Still confused about the process & source of the inflation costing us more “money” and, ultimately, freedoms every month?
If we fail to treat the source of this disease, we’re doomed.
This video may help.

Most of the people who will be at the feast will be of the same mind I am.

So as I said, there is no need to bring it up. We will talk of happy things because this may be the last one we have together.

“They quickly put this poll together for libs who don’t want to hear about the Waukesha massacre.”

As usual, my wife and I are invited to Thanksgiving dinner at her brother’s house outside of Milwaukee. He’s a Dem, but we get along just fine.

One of the other guests that is usually there is a distant relative of his. He happens to work in the Milwaukee district attorney office. He seems to be on the Conservative side (a big hunter and outdoors man), so I’m HOPING he has something to say about Waukesha.

For some reason Democrats are always the ones who don’t want to talk politics.

My Family spilt after 2016 - and fell apart after 2020.

Same here. Had a blowup with my cousin because she voted for Obama, then when she went for Hillary and against Trump I had it with her in 2016. She was Republican and heavily involved with the church, and we didn't speak and she died a couple years ago. Still speak with her kids who voted for Trump. Also had arguments with an older sister about politics, haven't seen her family since 2009. My daughters say they're happy not having to go to family gatherings because of the discord. 5 siblings on my side, and 6 siblings on my wife's side, and both families relations fell apart. This discord is nationwide.

Game time is Christmas - My bride invited our little wokester home. Youngest and only one within 1000 miles.

I have not talked to him or acknowledged his existence for several years.

Out of consideration for her, I will pick the proper time and place and then inform the little socialist bitch in clear and unambiguous language I am done with him. His relation between him and my wife is their thing but I am done

I will then verbally pound on his socialist ass, reminding him his comrade in arms tried to kill friends of mine in Waukesha on Sunday.
