You do you but I refuse to embrace family members who vote for someone like Trump. It’s like turning a blind eye to people in the South who threw rocks at Black children integrating schools or Black people sitting at Whites Only lunch counters. Nope
Your grotesque hyperbole is doing you no favors. Don't forget to compare him to Hitler and throw in a few "concentration camps" for good measure.![]()

DP. You can eyeroll and gaslight all you want, but Trump truly is next level evil/awful. The criticism of him is not hyperbole. This is about core values, decency, ethics, and morality at this point. These are not discussions about basic fiscal policies. This is about constant lying from this administration, human rights violations in the name of immigration enforcement, blatant corruption by Trump and his cronies while they are gleefully firing hardworking feds, destruction of a fair and independent DOJ, attempts to undermine fair elections and democracy itself. On and on. And that isn't even scratching the surface of the repugnant personal actions of Trump outside of the times he's been POTUS.
If you find these things to be excusable or unimportant, people like those of us on this thread have zero interest in spending time with you. Why would we want to spend Thanksgiving with morally bankrupt people? Who cares if they are relations or not?

Masked men abducting people off the street and sending them to foreign countries without due process is not hyperbole. You’re the obe who mentioned Hitler. Maybe try some anti-cult therapy. Seems like it could help.
But that's not what you said, is it? You claim that voting for Trump is the same as "turning a blind eye" to segregation and to people throwing rocks at black children. That is indeed disgusting hyperbole. You seem to have no concept of reality, the reality being that NONE of that is occurring, or even close to it.
And I have no idea what an "obe" is, nor do I care.
Obe is a typo for “one”. Maybe look up the term simile and then seek help. The fact that you don’t know that Noem and Trump and Miller are allowing ICE to abduct people off the street and send them to foreign countries without due process is VERY disturbing.
Bless your heart. I truly feel for anyone who has to spend their Thanksgiving with you - it's clear what an unpleasant day is in store for them.

I 100% respect that people can have different opinions but I could not host a Trump suppporting family member right now given what he and his cult are doing to our country. I will support your right to vote for a racist, grifting fascist but I will not serve you dinner.

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.

If you’ve dealt with mixed political views in the family, how do you keep things respectful and drama-free during the holidays?
We have a rule NO POLITICS, NO RELIGION,

Ironically, this means that you would exclude from your table my BIPOC FIL who was not allowed to attend integrated schools until high school. He voted for Trump.
Seems your lunch counter is exclusionary.
People vote against their own interests all if the time. If they also voted for Trump, I’m not serving them dinner.
