Families Refusing ThankGiving Dinner Over Election Politics
We are going to have an interesting Thanksgiving with guests from both sides, and some are very vocal. We already had some fun ones during Bush and Obama, but this one will take the price for sure. I hope it won't get physical.
It really is sad. You should be able to enjoy each others company regardless of political persuasion.
We do, but the vocal and hard headed ones never fail to produce some entertainment in form of passionate discussion. We also get passionate about religion, as we invite atheists, agnostics, Jews and of course evangelical Christians.
Good Grief! I will be going to my sister's house in Denver. My BIL's cousin is an elected official & will likely be there as he has been every year we "do" Thanksgiving at her house. Not once in 25 years has the conversation ever gone "political".
We all have kids & we are there to enjoy the holiday; geez.
That's what I would figure too. I'd hope that family members would have more in common, and care enough about each other to find other things to talk about if politics (and they used to say religion too), is such a bone of contention among their members.
Thank Obama , the divider and chief .. he divided us and used every situation to keep the divide going. Before Obama , it was never like this .
I don't remember ever being called a racist before Obama took office. Now we , the police, every situation is now racist. The race card is worn out .
The left followed Obama with this mantra. The media piles on every situation as being racist, every person. We are racist against terrorists if we want Muslims vetted before we take them in. We have good reason and it has nothing to do with racism.
We want to follow the law as our country is being overrun by illegals in every state. We have gangs, criminals committing crimes over and over again. It is racist to the left . We are sick of this .
I remember Obama jumping to the conclusion the police acted stupidly. Obama never spoke out against anyone gunning down and killing a police officer. No, he is bias against the men who are there to bring law and order here . If we didn't, anyone could kill anyone and no justice, no law to uphold. Either we are a country that upholds the law or we are completely lawless. The left is so wrong on every stand and that is why Trump is now the president -elect and the democratic party is eroding.
I find it both ironic and predictable that when Obama and the democrats had the political advantage the advice for Thanksgiving was for democrats to get up in the faces of their Neanderthal relatives and argue with them until they came kicking and screaming in to the 21st century, but now that Trump and the GOP have the advantage the advice is that we should all just change the subject and try to get along.
