No but that's a perfect idea. At least it's a civil compromise. Otherwise just get a plate and go. That's about the only way to deal with that. So the noise canceling headphones is a really good idea.
Try to ‘engage’ and change the tone if/when anyone tries to steer the convo toward politics. If that doesn’t work, plug away 😉🤔🫨🫡🫠🫥

And the other gold.”
some are better than others, so it depends how effective they are. would they have filtered out the absurd notion that the election was going to be close? use that as a test.
Why not just tell people political talk is a deal breaker and then follow through when it happens by getting up and leaving? Maybe they've seen enough heartbroken idiot videos that they'll actually take your request seriously. Probably not, but you could try.
We usually have a large gathering. Each holiday the cool people hang in the kitchen eating and drinking wine with me. We shoo out the ones that misbehave. I get no anger or drama and have a good holiday.
That was the norm in our cul-de-sac, but we don't have any family left to argue with. Most of our families, tho, would have supported Harris/Walz. Just the one brother, & he's in Trump Heaven now.
you should also wander around the house randomly picking up things to see what country they're made in and then sigh and say "After the tariffs, we won't be able to afford this"
TY...yes, i refer to those as well...tho, not so much the BBC as i do Sky News and Al Jazeera. It's mostly the american msm that is collapsed. Typically the 4th Estate collapses when a democracy dies. 😞
I think the disappointed Democrats are afraid their Trump-supporting relatives will treat them the way they planned on treating the Trump voters when Harris won. And it's not happening; we have too much class for that.
Too subtle. Wear bone conduction headphones & ask the two most annoying people if they wouldn't mind lending you their napkins, then twist them up (the napkins not the annoying people) and stuff them in your ears (once more, the napkins). Extra points if the other ends hang down past your shoulders.

Sure I would get crap for that though.
Like last year, I'm bringing my Bluetooth speaker to the table.
Political talk is outlawed but depending on how much my ahole Trump voting father has drunk who knows how long that will last.
Thank the gods for Zoloft and cannabis
I’m spending Thanksgiving in CDMX rather than with MAGAt family members.
🤌🏻
Bring a massive speaker to drown them out
Did I read nose?
I did.
I did read nose!
Is the cooking that lousy in your family?
#AHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHH
I’d bring my externally powered loudhailer because I have an opinion on all subjects and people that I will share with everyone.
