How Do You Deal With Republican Relatives During The Holidays?
I would like some advice from my DU friends on this topic because so far today, grandpa has gone on and on about how much President Obama has cut funding for the VA (I fact checked that claim and that is completely incorrect) and I can sense it will only get worse from both grandparents later on when some of my more liberal relatives arrive.
I'm thinking I should print out a picture of President Obama and the Electoral Map, so anytime they want to bring something up, I can just hold up both as a reminder who won the election. I can make my point without saying a word!

and make good natured fun of the Right Wing Idiot. Once you get their eyes rolling then you have them for all future holidays.

14. One final thought
Take a tip from my grandson,...and whenever someone says something that you think is stupid just say "Whatever!" and let it go,,say it over and over!! WHATEVER...and shrug your shoulders as you do

You eventually get used to it, and learn to actually like it, because you don't have all those mindless people around.
Think of it. You don't have to deal with the shopping crowds, or the meals with irate relatives.
You can sit home in your underwear, get bombed out of your mind, and do whatever you like.
