Fortunately, my family all died off in the pandemic. We were all liberal, and they'd be horrified by the state of things. I'm grateful they don't have to experience any of this.
My mom would be devastated to see that they let the orange fucker do it again.
It's my house. Everyone in the family knows I'll shut that shit down, so I look forward to seeing everyone 😁
I'm not sure what you're talking about. I love talking about politics. Oh wait, I think I'm that family member.
None. We have made politics a taboo subject at dinner. We know we don’t agree (older generations vs younger) and would rather converse about things we enjoy like the grandkids etc.
None, I am intentionally not seeing my family for Thanksgiving.
We're going out of town so our DIL doesn't have to make up an excuse for not spending it with her fam.
I have thanksgiving with only my wife and kids.
Then I have Friendsgiving, with a few friends and their family.
I haven't seen my family in years except for video calls. Same for my kids, and wife and kids. Not that I dislike them. Or would be opposed to them staying in the same town.
My family members are toxic, and after I moved, we never bothered.
I think more people should do that.
