How To Deal With Trump Supporters On Thanksgiving
Blogger writes tips for coping with the Trump supporters on Thanksgiving.
First….
If you’re a drinker, I strongly suggest you start drinking early.
Second….
Wear comfortable clothes.
Third….
Find an ally.
You really need at least one person in the room to be on Team Sanity with you.
Fourth….
Prepare for emergencies.
Before the day even starts find a safe space and give yourself a good pep-talk.
Fifth….
Don’t lose hope.
Here’s the thing. We will survive a Trump Presidency. We really will. Oh, it’s going to be four years of hell alright, but we WILL survive it. And if we can survive the Apocalypse called Trump, we can survive one day with our misguided relatives.
If all else fails, take a deep breath and start over at number one.
Happy Thanksgiving, Lefties!!

2. I have an agreement with my husband
We get to leave if I can't stand being around his gloating sisters and their excessively religious spawn.
If he was smart he would leave you at a courthouse.

That should keep everyone sober.
Nah,just yours.

25. Skip it.
Life if much easier when you stop talking to family and don't have to do any of this shit anymore.
No one wants you to eat with them. :naughty:

18. Thank you!
I have been "cleaning house" of sorts. Re-evaluating a lot of friendships that I've had with Trump supporters, and what I have discovered is a lop-sided friendship. Seems I've been there for them, but I'm not so sure they have been (or would be) there for me. I have come to realize what you said in your post. I'm just different than them and have no desire to be around them anymore.
What I thought was going to be angry and hurtful on my part has actually felt very cathartic. No arguments, no explanations, no goodbyes, just rather a letting go.
I'll be with family - enlightened family - on Thanksgiving, and for that I truly am thankful.

21. I've similarly pruned my Facebook contacts. And I am being dropped by some on Twitter
since I've been pretty obviously anti-Trump.
I am 60 and at this point don't feel like I have to take any shit from anyone. I can't come up with a single legit excuse for being a Trump supporter.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

24. Mine has gone further than Facebook.
Mine has extended to a couple of lifelong friends and a couple of family members that I rarely see anyway. Like you, I cannot justify why or how anyone could have supported Trump. I'm in my late 50's, and as you stated, at a point where I'm not asking anyone's permission to be me! I'm comfortable with who I am and what I stand for.
Hope you enjoy a great Thanksgiving as well.
Miserable shit stains.

For all the lurking DUmmies:
HOW TO GET THROUGH THANKSGIVING WITHOUT GETTING YOUR ASS KICKED
1. Don't be an asshole.
2. See Rule Number One.

Here's a better idea: Don't stomp around telling everyone they are stupid for 8 years next time your party has power, then you'll have a much easier time chewing that crow if this happens again. Your lack of civility is what made you a pariah in the first place.
Just go poop on a cop car and get arrest before Thanksgiving, then you'll be housed with like-minded people over the holiday and won't have to give this another worry.

In the next 20 years, most of the political "leaders" on whom DU-folk focus their lives - their love and their hate - will be gone, scarcely having met them, if that much. Yet these DU-folk are willing to throw away family and friends of God knows how many decades or their entire lives for the sake of "leaders whose closest contact with them might have been a handshake and maybe some perfunctory quickly forgotten chit-chat, followed by a sanitizing wipe or some sanitizing gel? They are so :mental: :mental: :mental: :mental: :mental: ! Making new close friends isn't as easy as a trip to Whole Paycheck, and "they" don't hand out new family like campaign bumperstickers.

With an attitude like that he shouldn't bother taking off his coat. I'm guessing "excessively religious" is code for, "They live their religion so well that I con't denigrate them as 'hypocrites,'" and "spawn" expresses her frustration at that inability. As for the "gloating", it's probably relief that The SHREW has been rejected and involuntarily retired to private life (I've heard rumors she might be thinking of running for Mayor of New York, but she's so unlikable that I cannot imagine the local D Party people putting up with that).

First….
If you’re a drinker, I strongly suggest you start drinking early.
This has to be the worst advice EVAH! If you know that you're going to behave irrationally in the first place, the absolute last thing you should do is add alcohol to the mix.

How about these tips:
1. Remember the whole freaking point of the holiday is to be thankful for what you have, not whine and argue about what you'd like to change about life. I realize this has always been a very hard task for the DUmmies and most ultra- liberals in general even before the election, but it helps.
2. Remember that most families have an unspoken rule about not discussing politics, at least at the Thanksgiving table. If someone else you disagree with starts this, either remind them of this rule, or ignore him or her and not make things worse.
3. Demonstrate basic human decency towards those who you are most obligated to show it to, your families. This too, I know, is very hard for the DUmmies, since basic human decency is a foreign concept for them.
4. Realize that (GASP) Other people are entitled to their opinions, too.

When I am around the few relatives and friends I have who are dumb enough to vote for democrats, I keep the conversations as shallow as they are. No conflict. No logic needed.

Dummy liberal N proud is setting the stage to proclaim a Thanksgiving bouncy. He/she/it goes to the dinner totally sh*tfaced, proceeds to rant about the election and Trump. No one responds out loud so the bouncy that Trump supporters are unable to defend their man means victory.
Of course the real story is h/she/ite arrives sh*tfaced as usual and no one talks to the primitive or pays any attention so he/she/it sits at the folding card table in the hallway and eats alone.

I'm not sure if those are references to actual food or sexual innuendo :-)

Actually, I think over indulging alcohol is a splendid idea for DUmmies. If anyone has a lack of certainty as to their irrationality, a DrUnken DUmmy will remove all doubts.

A drunken Dummie on powerful psych drugs may even remove the Dummie form the gene pool. Bonus!

Lots of Dummies planning on stewing in their own juices on Thanksgiving. Excellent. Good and decent people can breath a sigh of relief.
Since I don't watch sports, I'll just have more to watch on the DU after dinner that day. :popcorn:

It's easy DUmmies..........STFU.. for the next 4 years, and hopefully more.

Than do not talk about politics on the table. Three things you do not talk about on the dinner table.
1.) Religion
2.) Politics
3.) Money

Yeah, get a hyperemotional, infantile half-wit - on the verge of complete mental collapse - smashed.
