Thanksgiving at the In-Laws

Is it a cliche to have arguments with your in-laws at Thanksgiving over stuff like politics, family issues, etc.?

She would make you eat outside if you did.

It's pretty trashy imo. Shows the person hosting you at their house a complete lack of respect. Just makes others feel awkward and uncomfortable. Really, what good does it do? Just enjoy a dinner with loved ones and just don't engage in such discussion.

When I was about 10, was getting a haircut one day and mentioned to the barber about how much he talked while cutting hair. He said "yeah, I'll talk about anything - except politics and religion. I lose too many customers that way".
Just one of the tidbits of knowledge that I have held on to.

We all agreed to keep the convo light this year. Currently taking bets on the Purina dog show.

Turned down an invite to the in-laws. They're all gumps and I didn't want to watch LSU play over there. They root against them.

I stay out of all family drama at the in-laws, drink a beer and sit quietly, grateful that none of those problems concern me, nor am I expected to contribute.
It's amusing to me how much of a family past time it is to talk about other family members. My peeps don't do that. If we are talking shite about a family member, it's usually the one sitting across the table.

I just laugh up here. I'm from a really relaxed family in nowhere Louisiana. These people are up in miserable New Jersey planning this 6 course meal with crystal stemware. I said "we use paper plates and plastic forks". Mother in law said "for a holiday?!?!" I just responded with "enjoy cleaning all those dishes and putting them back where they came from". Which they were individually wrapped and out in a box then went in some cabinet I've never even seen.
She also just told me to make sure all my valuables were hidden because evidently there's a cousin coming over who will jack anything. She start rifling through my shite she gonna be in a bind.

My in-laws are pretty cool.
ETA: over here right now
Arguing can be fun.
