Holy shite I give up with the national media. I have for a while, but it's just fricking pathetic.

This morning I was watching the local news (which I actually enjoy) and after the local newscast was over, the national CBS or ABC News came on and I had it on in the background

Breaking News!!!! New Poll reveals that this will be the most divided Holiday season in history.

Here's how to approach family members who have different political views than you during this upcoming Holiday season.

---
Who the frick makes a stupid fricking poll about this stupid fricking topic? They made it sound like it was Breaking News like the world just blew up.

Let's not start off the newscast about last night's debate, or news that's happening in the Middle East, or something important. But, Noooooo, let's start the morning news off with a stupid dumb breaking news poll that means absolutely nothing.

They truly want families who get together during Thanksgiving and Christmas to fight each other during the Holidays because OMB - It's just fricking insane to me.

If you’re too stupid to fall for what the tv tells you to fall for, that speaks for you more than anything. Turn the tv off and find a hobby, one that doesn’t involve this website (bc let’s face it, this board is toxic too).

This board is as toxic as Georgia making college football toxic with their shitty cupcake schedule.

Playing Tech on a yearly basis only solidifies your argument.

Tech is not a football factory. They actually teach things at that institute. Sports is just an extra curricular activity for a few students there.

Don’t tell LSU fans how much academics matter.

Approach them like you always would. Welcoming, loving, caring, and not judgemental or condescending in any way whatsoever, because it's holiday family time and we as conservatives value family.

Then, when the liberal/prog visitors ultimately break protocol due to being overemotional and irrational and start talking politics, refute their talking points with very succinct facts while being careful to not make your responses too wordy or personally insulting. They'll tap out (and might even pick up and leave early) when you completely shut them down and they know they can't get you fired up and they can't prove you wrong.

This works well in my family. It did have the unfortunate side effect of smaller holiday gatherings in 2021 and 2022 because the more progressive faction of our family was literally afraid to catch the Corrvid from us horse-paste-eating redneck hillbillies, but this year they all came back to our Easter and Independence Day celebrations and we expect them to come back to Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings as well.

Give them time and they'll remember what's important. Will they choose to bring up political topics again? We'll see. But since they didn't do so on July 4th, I think they may have learned to just leave it alone. We understand that they truly think we're ignorant, uneducated and frankly stupid, and that they've somehow intellectually transcended the human condition. That makes things uncomfortable, but it's not supposed to be an easy task to be the bigger person and tune out the condescension and sanctimony.

I read Ole Miss has an 88% acceptance rate. That's insane.

Anyway...when the Dawgs beat them by 3 scores in Athens this weekend they'll just be another (top 10) cupcake.
