How to keep it civil during the holidays

If anyone wants to talk politics at Thanksgiving I give them a thumbs down, throw bacon at them, or tell them it's off topic.

 

You just got baconed.

 

So don’t make cardboard cutouts and hold them up while eating?

 

I get to drive an hour to hang out with my LILs.
Libbie in laws…
Actually half are big Trumpers and half condescending assholes.
It should be fun. I drink bloody Mary’s and laugh in the corner.
Hope they like gifs.

 

We’re made it clear to my wife’s parents that politics were off limits. It’s been successful. I don’t think any of us want to launch into a damaging argument.

My father in law and I have had three cigar and bourbon nights without incident and otherwise excellent conversation. It honestly felt like the pre-Trump era.

 

I’ve got 3 grandsons under 5 in the house. I’ve already got them making fart noises every time we see trump on TV. There’s hope.

 

Politics isn’t an issue at my house.

 

Let me guess what’s going to be under the xmas tree…

The Kids Guide to President Trump

 

Do you pull their finger or is it Trump only?

 

do they actually $hit their pants when Biden is on?

 

Meh just don’t talk politics.

If they do I just quietly leave the room.

 

No they all think farts are funniest thing ever. I gave them a fart machine so they just mash the fart button.

 

Spoke too soon. Begun, the racism has.

“WHY ARE THERE BLACKS DOING RIVET DANCE?”

“THIS IS AMERICA. WHY ARE THEY SINGING IN SPANISH?!”

“CHRISTMAS COMMERCIALS WITHOUT CHRISTMAS MUSIC?! TRUMP GONNA FIX THAT!!”

JFC. I may start drinking before noon.

 

Just don’t invite liberal relatives. If they come over, put an extra table outside for them to eat. Tell them they can feel closer to the homeless.

 

I just send my MAGA family members to the kids table where they belong

 

Liberals hate kids. I would enjoy the kids table more than the liberal table.

 

Precisely what’s wrong with you? I’m hosting my super right wing in-laws with the grace that you only wish you could muster. Also? Being homeless sucks. Been there.

Folks like you always wonder why your kids and grandkids stop talking to you.
