Do any of you make a point to avoid politics at Thanksgiving dinner? I’m really hoping for a peaceful holiday this year.

My daughter likes to joke about Trump and even cracks jokes about Charlie Kirk, and my brother is most likely showing up in his Trump hat. I’m just trying to prevent any tension or arguments at the table.
If you’ve dealt with mixed political views in the family, how do you keep things respectful and drama-free during the holidays? |

| Everyone at our dinner is on the same side, thank goodness! |

| No Trumpers at our table, but if my brother showed up in MAGA hat (and he's just the kind of @sshole to do that) I would definitely not be peaceful. In fact, I'd probably go out beforehand and have a custom table cloth made devoted to my gratitude of feminism and have it adorned with Hillary, Kamala, Elizabeth, and Michelle. |

| We aren't getting together with them. That's how we are keeping it peaceful. |

| My entire extended family is normal (not MAGA), so it’s not an issue. |

| We mostly agree on politics, but it’s not our style to discuss at the table anyway. A couple of people always try and steer the discussion that way so I usually think through a list of more light-hearted things to talk about just in case. In case of emergency, break out the “remember that time when great aunt Lorraine dropped the turkey?!” |

| Absent an NYC mayoral discussion, we should be fine. |

I am not holding back if they start talking about maga and that idiotic pedophile.
Everyone always has to accommodate these idiots. Well that is all over now. |

Don’t invite him, ffs.
We’re all on the same side but would excommunicate a member who was stupid. |

The MAGAs aren't invited so it's not a problem.
