Mine was pretty quiet, none of the people I thought would bring up Trump winning the EV but losing the popular vote happened, it was a really a good day with the family.
I did have a progressive nephew who is a craft beer aficionado who brews beer with his father (my brother)name a beer after me....., called it Uncle Lester's Coffee Stout, he said "the beer you need to slam when Uncle Lester won't get off his political soap box".
I was flattered, humbled and honored to have my progressive nephew think so much of my political rantings he felt compelled to name a beer after me.

We didn't talk politics at all, but I think most of us voted for Trump.

That is pretty cool of you nephew and I'm glad he has a good sense of humor.

My in-law family is all very pro-Trump. Thanksgiving turned into a MAGA rally!! It was awesome! The blessing over the meal even included a prayer for Trump to MAGA.

It was AWESOME!!!

Luckily no family or friends are leftists.

My FIL, who has been a small business owner since he was 30 and still busting his butt at age 73, wore his MAGA hat while carving the turkey. It was glorious.

When we went around the room, and everyone said something they were thankful for, my uncle said he was thankful that Bernie didn't run in the general election.

Looks like some Progs/Libs will even down vote an innocuous thread about Thanksgiving and family, probably sat home, watched reruns of Rosie, SNL and Ellen while eating sliced Spam on saltines.

I would gladly give up 5 future up votes if I could give them to you today.

First Thanksgiving I've had in a very long while without my former in-laws that would vote for a tuna salad sandwich as long as it had a D by it's name. These idiots complain about the red tape they had to go through to get a pool at their Lakeview home and how the road next to their house has been torn up for months by the city. Yet they keep voting for the garbage that runs New Orleans and lets the same nonsense happen over and over again.

Then again, it would have been worth listening to the melt from that group.
