How to avoid talking politics at Thanksgiving? Consider a ‘NO MAGA ALLOWED’ sign.
It’s almost Thanksgiving, that special day of the year when most Americans are forced to spend time with relatives they don’t like in return for large amounts of food they do like.
While the whole social/gastronomic experiment unfolds, one topic invariably pops up and transforms the day from “Well, this is annoying, but at least there’s pie” to “Oh God, I have to get out of here before I stab cousin Melvin with the wishbone.” That topic, of course, is politics.
It has never been a good subject to float during family gatherings. But in the age of former president and over-achieving criminal defendant Donald Trump, it has become more explosive than your drunk uncle adding “just a bit more oil” to the turkey fryer.
Tragically, politics are front-and-center in our national conversation, with a presidential election approaching and the U.S. Congress mirroring that Thanksgiving someone served Red Bull at the kids table.
So how do we avoid the topic that should be voted “Most Likely To Bring A Violent End To Your Holiday”?
Well, probably not hanging with unhinged leftists who love to kill the unborn, hate Jews, want Other People to pay high taxes, and love Big Government, among others, is a good idea. Or, just not bringing up politics. And, while some Republicans can get out of control, Modern Socialists will utterly lose their shit any time someone challenges them.
Anyhow, since this is the leftist USA Today, what are their ideas? Well, you saw the headline, right?
NO MAGA ALLOWED, or something along those lines
If you don’t like Donald Trump and hope he is sentenced to live under a bridge with a particularly ill-tempered troll named Gnarlfart the Gaseous, simply post a “prohibited” sign on your front door that shows the word “MAGA” with a large red slash through it.
Funny how liberals, who claim they are so tolerant, are simply unable to deal with anything beyond their little bubble.
Keep your ears peeled for red-flag words and be prepared to create a diversion. For example, if you hear a grandparent say the words “rigged election” or “COVID hoax” or “Biden crime family,” you should immediately set the tablecloth on fire. By the time it’s put out and everyone has settled down, the toxic subject will hopefully be forgotten and everyone can eat their sweet potatoes in peace.
The article even suggests that the little moonbats plan an escape route, or just call in sick.
Seriously, who’s most likely to bring up how evil Thanksgiving is? But, hey, you know what, let’s not discuss Trump or that other stuff. We can discuss Bidenomics and why your liberal friends showed up in a fossil fueled vehicle instead of an EV.
