I've been going strong since 2016. There will never be room for MAGA at my dinner table.

Friendsgiving is a great replacement it's been great and now one cheats at boardgames as a plus

Just had ours. It was great

I'll be the one dining amongst the reds this year. Most of my family is content with just casual bigotry, but my brother is more outspoken and knows how to push my buttons (obviously, he's the youngest). My plan is to get drunk, quickly, so that I don't feel any guilt or shame about speaking my mind right back at him.

You should make them pay 1.50 for every plate they didn't make themselves and someone had to import from another house, refuse to cook or tidy anythingas thats done by immigrants, and point out loudly everything not made in the US.

Id start with pointing out every imported alcohol and amy food not grown in the US.

You should learn the facts and numbers well. Maybe even listen to some Shapiro to ready yourself for the flavor of points they'll try and make

No-thanks giving™

I'm not going to Thanksgiving this year. I'd rather celebrate with my cats than my crazy family

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago

My tradition (ever since I moved away from my irl friends) is to stock up on one of every type of turkey TV dinner at the grocery store, then feast on that over the course of the 5-day weekend (thank you, Union!). It's super chill. I play video games and knit. My pup and I will hang out at the dog park.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Me too. Are you telling them why? I'm leaning towards cutting them all off, going full no contact, saying exactly why, and moving to either a blue state or out of the country for a while (which I have the means to do).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I normally find some stupid excuse to get out of family gatherings, but this will probably be the year I tell them directly.

This is the first time I have ever had a good (medical) excuse to not attend my wife's conservative family's Thanksgiving. The problem is they're evangelicals and this is Indiana, so they always vote red.

To their credit, they are very warm and welcome people. They accepted my daughter is queer the moment my wife told them (whereas my supposedly left-wing mother poorly hides her distaste) and they welcomed me into their family despite knowing I was Jewish. They have never once tried to convert me.

I don't really get it, but it won't be an issue for much longer anyway because we're emigrating ASAP.

Trump won the popular vote.

We're the ones that are not invited.

Friendsgiving is the better holiday anyway

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Only because the left didn't show up. His base didn't grow--it's constant.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Dems said no leftists invited. Not crazy they didn't show up.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Leftists did show up. That's the real rub in all this.

The folks who stayed home were centrists without any strong allegiance, who never got their student loans forgiven or their energy bills reduced or their wages kept up with inflation.

While Harris was hobnobbing with Liz Cheney, they were door knocking for legalized abortion. While she was begging for money from Silicon Valley, they were trying to get weed decriminalized in a few more states.

And it's not even like Dems didn't win. Harris ran behind other statewide candidates in Arizona and North Carolina. In House districts it was even worse. Rashida Talib got twice the Harris vote count and won her district in a landslide, while Harris pandered to Israel to no avail.

My parents are pulling almost exactly this from my aunt and uncle because they're Trump voters.

Looking at the inverse here. My entire family except for one of my brothers, my wife, and myself are chuds. If I didn't have/want a good relationship with my parents I'd stay home

Any idiot who says, "your body, my choice" at Thanksgiving is going to get force fed a drumstick the hard way. It is long past time to stop being polite with them. Women are dying because of this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's the point where I'd politely ask them to come outside with me, then beat the shit out of them while repeating "Your body (punch), my choice (punch)" until I felt they got the point.

People who enjoy it when others are unhappy bother me so much.

I don't enjoy it when Republicans are unhappy. Sometimes I think they deserve to be unhappy, but I do not enjoy it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I'm in the opposite boat. My inlaws are all MAGA whereas my wife and I are very much liberal. This is 'her' year for visiting family and she does want to go, but I've already warned her that her entire family is on the THINNEST of ice. It's going to take a miracle for us to actually stay. I'm sort of looking forward to the first comment from them where we can simply scoop up the kids and head out.

Yeah. Last time I saw them they had a screaming fit in front of my kids about how much they hate black people. Unprovoked. They are SHOCKED we blocked them on socials. Like idk what you expect, but I'm not going to find out.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

I guess that is the biggest crime the Republican party committed, it polarized society for decades now, taking us to today where families are falling apart over something as stupid as politics

Next stop: a possible civil war where not only neighbor kill neighbors, but even family kill their own members

Mind you, I'm not trying to excuse the fascist assholes, but a lot of these people were just people watching the wrong YouTube channel for a while, watching more and more fox news, etc... how would they have been today had they gotten normal content that wasn't specifically designed to brainwash him?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

I haven't spoken to one of my trucker cousins since 2016. Used to talk every family gathering, shoot the shit and catch up, talk about whatever until it was time to leave.

Now I actively ignore that he has even spoken if we're at the same family gathering that I didn't set up or host. Hasn't been invited to any that I do.

And apparently, he "doesn't know why"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

they/them nieces 'n' nephews

I guess it would be asking too much of the average MAGAt to know the word "nibling".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like something you do before Thanksgiving dinner while nobody is looking.
