I have a ultra Lib Sister. Into Tats, drives a Prius and teaches 8th grade English at a fruity private school.

Last year the hot topics was the guy that has worked on our families cars told her he no longer wanted to work on hers bc she has a BLM sticker on it and one of her 8th graders thinks he is a Steven one day and a Stephanie the next.

In other words, she browbeat you so bad at the dinner table you had to run to your safe space to cry about it

I really am. I love Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday. Keep your temper. Keep your sense of humor. Answer direct questions with concise responses. Don't allow propaganda to go unchallenged and remember, at the end of the day, they're still family and the children are watching.

What a surprise, you don't have the brains or the plums to respond substantively so you just lash out. Typical conservative response

ur busted. enjoy your ban clown. ur too stupid to know how we know.

Lucky for me we are at my parents. All 30 or so people that will be there are all as conservative as it gets.

And that ranges generations from GenZ to Boomer.

We’re a nice mix of people still inside the matrix (who ironically consider themselves the smarter group) and a ragtag group of rebels who have grasped, to varying degrees, the lies that form the current orthodoxy.

I don’t engage anymore. It is what it is. Plato’s allegory of the cave was written how many years ago? I’ve accepted this as simply an enduring feature of humanity.

So...still nothing. Got it.

My white trash brother in law and his child wife always make for such unforgettable holidays. Neither him, nor his child wife graduated high school, so that always makes for some interesting conversations. Their little Joe Dirt looking kids will certainly do something to piss everyone off, last year it was a knife pointed at one of their cousin's eyes and non stop screaming.

I'm sure that yet again they will show up empty handed while everyone else brings food. I'm sure there will be arguments between my MIL and them about them deciding to homeschool their kids (I'm all for homeschooling but they are too dumb to successfully teach them anything).

I'm also certain my FIL, who I like, will start railing on my BIL that he needs to grow some balls and tell his child wife's family to start helping out with bills, because right now my BIL owes my FIL quite a bit of money. He will also at some point during the home-schooling argument drop in to say that it's probably better those kids stay at home because he thinks they are a school shooting waiting to happen.

Oh, and the topper on top this year, the child bride's parents have since, like a leach, followed them to Missouri so they can suck every dollar out of my BIL's plumber checks, will be there and my in laws and pretty much everyone else, despise them, so that should be good for show. My only question is will they be driving their Uncle Eddie style RV to the occasion and try to empty their RV waste into the storm drains.

Thankfully this won't be at my house this year so I'm bringing a cooler of beer to enjoy while watching football and basketball, and a bottle Buffalo Trace for the old man. Thankfully next year will be at my side of the family's place where there isn't near the drama nor the need to drown myself in alcohol to get through it. Happy Holidays all
