Do it, Patriot!

Because the lefties will not hold back. They will go off on Trump no matter what. I’m all for the etiquette you describe as long as it’s mutual.

I was in Ojai California last week with my wife and with my daughter and SIL who live in Los Angeles. They are lefties. Generally it’s no issue. My SIL was driving and passed a group of protesters waving the Palestinian flag. He gave them the thumbs up, even though he knows I’m on the other side of that issue. The next day a caravan of about 30 cars of Trump supporters came down the main street in Ojai. They were blowing horns and waving, so I gave them the thumbs up. I would not have done it if he hadn’t.

Things got tense for the next half hour, but nobody said anything, and the state of bonhomie reasserted itself.

Can't you just wear a Trump shirt and a MAGA hat and smile all day

I’m visiting my mom for Thanksgiving. I’ll be the only conservative in the house. She’s a lib. Not as extreme as my sister, but her friends she’ll be having over for Thanksgiving are probably that level of bat shite. Well, tonight two of her friends that are staying with us arrived and they’re sitting around the table after dinner going off about politics, mainly Trump. There’s really no point to even engage after hearing the mainstream media talking points they’re rattling off. So, I took their plates away for them and cleaned up the kitchen then found solitude outside in the backyard with the dogs.

It was in my isolation when it hit me. On Thanksgiving when we’re all gathered around the table about to enjoy a nice meal, it’s typical for everyone to share what they’re thankful for. I will of course say I’m thankful for my mother and her friends for being around for the holiday, but I decided I will add that what I’m most thankful for this year is Donald J Trump. I usually don’t get involved in political discussions around her or that sort of company, but frick it I wanna see some faces melt.

In general, I think it's lousy practice to let politics invade and mar these spaces.

But, if I were trying to troll, I might say:

While I'm not into transgenderism, I am still thankful that Bruce Jenner was able to successfully pick his one of the two genders to go with peacefully.

Whether I agree with them or not, I'm thankful that millions of black Americans were able to peacefully exercise their constitutional right to vote for Donald Trump.

I'm thankful that tens of millions of Hispanic Americans are going to be able to enjoy the future prevention of lawless dilution of their legal immigrant status.

Politics is off the table at our gathering of 20+.

Sounds like his sister's friends started it. And I bet they will keep bringing it up all of the way until Thanksgiving day.

I agree that I don't start political discussion at holiday meals, and I can even walk away a time or two without going off. But if I have to listen to too much of it I'll eventually start firing back.

Say your grateful for Elon too. They may blow up
