The Thanksgiving table has long served as a rhetorical battleground for American families. Whether it’s hot gossip about the cousin who’s headed for his fourth divorce or equally fiery political takes, moral and social wars have always been waged at the dinner table. But in this extremely tumultuous time, as children remain incarcerated on the Texas border and mass shootings dominate the news, moderates everywhere still insist that being nice to your racist, Trump-supporting relatives at the Thanksgiving table is somehow going to be the balm that prevents us from ending up in Margaret Atwood’s Gilead.

Better not to invite an SJW to your table.

Same thing was said last year. Just "accidentally" spill the hot gravy bowl on the troublemakers.

It is not just right wing idiots that cause trouble. Both left and right wingers make noise and dissention.
Most Trumpees are not racist except as measured by lunatic lefties.

Just push the followers of Eater and put them in a weaponized cage match with Alex Jones Freaks. Meanwhile the people who get along can eat and talk about college football or how good the food was and they were thankful to eat a great meal in great company.

If someone "accidentally" (on purpose) spilled gravy or whatever else on me, they'd likely be staggering away from the Thanksgiving table with a bloody nose. Accidentally, of course. One never knows when one might have an errant spasm of the arm... repeatedly.

I pity the folks that may get stuck eating turkey with this loon:

“But if you’re so disgusted by what you see in the news, you can’t just sit there and pretend that the people in your family didn’t play some role in getting to where we are today”

Don't disrupt the table with political hatred and nonsense directed at anyone and you won't have anything to worry about. It's pretty easy.

That loon doesn't realize that it's the people like him that got us to where we are today.

What kind of punch is best for a bloody nose?
