These people can just cry me a river. I haven’t spoken to one brother since 2017 and the other brother and sister since last year. They don’t try to understand me, so not much more I can give.
My daughter and I are having our own Thanksgiving. We won't be seeing my Mom or brother. They chose to vote against her bodily autonomy, they have been going down the MAGAT hole for a while now. But, mom went too far when she called our choices "Antifa". 🙄
I agree you, but that’s not what this post is saying. This is basically saying “if you are at a table with 1 Trump supporter, then that makes you a Trump supporter“
Such black and white thinking, if you don’t agree with me then you are my enemy, is a tactic of the right and I don’t care for it
I absolutely agree with your thoughts. If that is an accurate reading, then I agree that it's a bad message. There is nuance to be recognized, of course.
Our Thanksgiving is congenial and a lot of fun because we don’t discuss politics or religion, and we play cards and drink and laugh at a lot. I’m not sure anyone has ever changed their mind because of a holiday discussion on politics.
When your father voted for a rapist pedophile perverted sex predator, pathological liar war mongering fraud and treasoner...What does that say about your dad
in my case, it's that he also wants to be all of those things but can't because he barely graduated high school and is absolutely god awful with money, too stupid for business, and knows if he tried any of the shit donald did he'd be sitting in prison bc he's not rich enough to get away with it 🫠
It's why there are so many people with young daughters are actually leaving the U.S. for the next four years. I'm old enough to remember the days before Roe v. Wade, it was horrible.

I wish I had that luxury. unfortunately as I'm disabled, it's nearly impossible for me to immigrate elsewhere. all I can hope is that the NY state government doesn't roll over like dogs the second they stop getting federal money.
My stepdad says he'll shoot a man who tries anything with any of us, then votes for a sexual abuser. I told him what an absolute betrayal that was. And how, my sister, his biological daughter, could have died if that roe v Wade overturn had happened sooner. He didn't respond.
omg for the last time magats, your daughter isn't "boycotting thanksgiving" she's just tired of wasting energy on people who believe her human rights and best interests are negotiable
If it is a Hitler Nazi, they probably have dementia. If it is a Trump Nazi, then they likely eat baby food. If it is a grammar nazi, they likely will get booed. If it is my brother, then he won't show up cause he is a fucking coward.
To what extent do you need to waste people's time with this stuff on Bluesky platform? Don't you feel like you're preaching to the converted? How about some suggestions/ solutions for making things better as opposed to stories that force people to ruminate... Do you HAVE to post a certain amount?
"Sweetie, why can't we have Thanksgiving together? Is this just because I'd rather see you die in agony from birthing complications than get an abortion? It's just a different opinion, bruh."
Not sure it can be that cut and dry - there are people, especially older ones, who have only 1 relative left - a tough bond to cut. I know 3 couples who split votes - divorce? Others are a different matter - I couldn't invite a friend/acquaintance who I knew to be MAGA to my table at this point.
I haven't been able to speak to my dad now these past 3 weeks...just a few texts. Guess he can look up the word "embargo" while also looking up "tariffs".
Are you saying I cannot feed a mouth before I check the polictics of that mouth? If we are to feed the poor, does this not also mean poor of spirit, of morals?
If I saw a MAGA bleeding, I would still help, because THIS IS who I am. It matters not who they have yet to become. I CANNOT catch stupid
Anyone condoning fascism for whatever reason (my favorite: the price of eggs; but second best: the other candidate was a qualified decent black female) is not just bad but worse than those believing in fascism. They are “transactional” about a philosophy that is utterly evil.
If you can pull it off, a great response is manic enthusiasm. "Yeah! Let's do it! I'm aboard! Let's make America great again!" A *YUGE* piece of why MAGA types say and do things is to piss off "the libs." If you take that away, you take away their power.
THIS. "I can see why you voted for Trump. You're so much alike and you remind me of him so much. I totally get why his policies and ideas appeal to you."
Fuck around and find out. A good friend of mine is not doing Thanksgiving with her family because of her brother being a twat to her after the election.
Can’t imagine a mother of daughters voting for a rapist who doesn’t respect women’s rights and supports letting women die from things like miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies or abortion. I wouldn’t be joining her for Thanksgiving dinner either!
Exactly. They are very pleased at the prospect of us liberals getting hurt. They are sure that they, themselves, are completely safe. I deeply hope that Karma comes around to find them.
After my father passed, due to covid two years back, I did a familial culling. Everyone who voted for Trump twice was right the fuck out. I will go to my grave believing Trump's covid response murdered my father.
I did not receive a Thanksgiving invite this year, and it's at my godmother's house.
Sorry for your loss. I’m with you on the second vote for Trump and you’re completely out of my life position. I’ve removed every family member from my life who I know voted for Trump the second time.
Amen to all of that. Re. Thanksgiving prices? Maybe it's just where I live, but the cost of it hasn't changed much for me. Have got turkeys for about 50c/lb for years now. All of a sudden they're looking around and realizing they don't HAVE to have a fresh farm raised? SMH.

It’s a relief to be free from that bunch of bigots and shit heads.
