T - 9 Days until Thanksgiving dinner with teabagger extremists...

I am dreading it. And it's their type that brings up politics by completely ignoring present company who may not agree with them and kicking off the "conversation" with absolute garbage devoid of actual fact and prepared to disown anyone who dares to attempt to correct them.

I had to attend a social event with my fiance's dad and his wife on Saturday night and got a preview of what my first Thanksgiving with them will be like. I warned my fiance that I would be prepared for their BS on Turkey Day and she is begging me to stow it.

I don't know what to do. I told her that it wasn't me who brought up politics, it was them talking shit about Muslims and how they hate President Obama. She agreed but asked me to be cool about it on T-Day.

I just do not know what to do! And, what's worse, is these people live in louie gohmert's district and are every bit as bad at social issues, Obama-hating, gun-loving, fact-eshewing, and bat shit insane as he is!

I do not know what to do.

I have an idea:

71. Just dunk them

Call them out, dunk those scrubs, and burn da earth.

Alternative route: Do what someone said upthread and for every right wing position go more extreme. I suggest you do a crashcourse reading of Hans Hermann Hoppe's "Democracy: The God That Failed" and see how to bring out maximum right wing extremism.

5. My first instinct would be to point and laugh every time they make a stupid comment. (like thinking the cops will hit four protesters with tear gas, you mean?)

Shake my head, clap my hands. The biggest problem is that there are so many of them. I have pushed back against the teabaggers in my office one on one, who quickly back down when confronted with an actual fact or when asked to explain the crazy statement they just made. In groups, they will start shouting bs at you and it is pretty hard to fight that.

79. perhaps you should reconsider

The marriage unless you and your bride live far away. And the visit would be once a year or less.

Yup. Politics is the most important thing. CalPeg will eke out your aching seed if you need love. And you can tithe to Skinner.

Why do they always insist conservatives push their views yet the DUmp is filled with tales of them demanding that Fox be turned off (guess some even change channels and then hide the remote) or how they interject in restaurant/check out line conversations?

Yes, I also recommend a scorched earth policy. That I believe would be appropriate.

Bring them to their knees! Take no one alive! Just Do It!

I do not know what to do.

You could opt out and take your future spouse on a weekend getaway with just the 2 of you where you can reflect on how thankful you are you 2 met.

or failing that, feign an illness (explosive diarrhea is always a good one; no one would ever falsely claim to have that and no one would ever question if you do have it, or want you over to their house ) and stay home.

[Fourwinds]

It's Thanksgiving for crying out loud.  There isn't a single thing under the sun that isn't political to these jack asses. Don't like their politics? Don't like them?  Then don't go. But we know what's going on, he'll eat the free food and curse them under his breath in private. Then spin a big story about the big bad liberal putting people in their places in their own home. I hope you choke you goat ****er.

If holidays are that miserable, just keep your sorry ass at home.  I'm sure your family will appreciate the respite from your bitching and whining.

[JohnnyReb]

I'll be spending T-day with the wife's family.....if during commercials interrupting the football game politics happen to come up, Obama's big ears will be ringing.

And now, a special message for the chisolmtrail primitive:
 
Listen close, you DUmb mother****er.

Your fiancee' (spell it right next time, shitweasel) has 100% of the ***** in your relationship. If you piss her off, then guess what? She won't share it with you.

If you act like a typical DUmmy on Thanksgiving Day, you'll piss off your fiancee'. You'll be jerking off until Christmas dinner, by which time you should have learned to have some ****ing manners. If you still act like a DUmbass, you'll be jerking off 'til Che ****ing Guevera's Birthday, whenever the hell that is.

If you try to go all William Rivers Pitt on her family, then guess what you'll have on the day after Thanksgiving: leftover green bean casserole and no more girlfriend. Is that what you want, asshole?

Grow the **** up. Big Dog Out.

Ah, yes. Advice from the battle scarred WalMart protester: Randomly point, laugh, shake your head, and clap your hands when other people talk.

In other words, go full retard.

Good luck with your fiancee' after that, chisolmtrail DUmmy. Forget about a restraining order; you'll be lucky if she doesn't put out a hit on you.

[GOBUCKS]

I've been at big family dinners at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Decoration Day for decades.

In all those dozens of get-togethers, each attended by at least a couple dozen people, I do not recall there ever being even one word of politics spoken.

At a family celebration it just seems impolite and inappropriate to bring up anything that might cause discomfort, so it never happens.

In DUmmy dinner bouncies, it always happens.

It's sort of like all their political arguments in the checkout line.

[thundley4]

DUmmies claim that their view is the normal view in this country, yet their own families are mostly conservative.  That means that the liberal viewpoint is very narrowly based in this country.

My first instinct would be to punch you right in the face hole, and then seat you at the little kiddie table so that the adults can continue having their mature conversation.

That's right, BD.

Women, half the money, ALL the *****.

Kind of reminds me of the Irish Lament: If it wasn't for the whiskey, the Irish would rule the world.

Uh, no.  What you mistook for backing down was stunned incredulousness over trying to process your made up bullshit.

they will start shouting bs at you and it is pretty hard to fight that.

If your facts are unassailable and your intellect so superior, this kind of thing should be easy peasy.

But, it's not, is it?

Nah.....

Besides the hilarious visual of "point and laugh, shake my head, clap my hands," which sounds like something out of an insane asylum for the profoundly disturbed, my favorite part was this:

The biggest problem is that there are so many of them

So funny and so true, BD!  Especially "she won't share it with you".  H5.

Wait... what if the dummie is a she? I figured out that the dummies fiancée is actually a female because it said "she..." but does anyone know if the dummie is actually male? It being the dump the question has to be asked.   If the dummie is a female then the fiancée would technically not have 100 percent of the ***** in that relationship.

No wonder why DUmmies have such negativistic relationship with people including their own family. They obsess about politics nonstop and complain how the world is unfair to them.

We talk politics at family get-togethers.  However, we are all conservative.  All my siblings have married conservatives.  I'm dating a conservative.  I don't think any of us could ever tolerate dating a liberal.

We spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws (which is a trial in and of itself) but the only liberal there will be my father, who will undoubtedly open his fool mouth about politics, the subject will be changed abruptly, and then life will go on with no hard feelings. Christmas, on the other hand, will be spent with my liberal extended family, and there will be much kicking under the table as I kick my husband to keep his mouth shut, the subject will be changed abruptly, and life will go on.

Why are the DUmmies the only ones that don't get that you don't HAVE to talk politics?

If we talk politics at my brother's house (where we're having Thanksgiving), it'll be of the conservative variety, because even if my moonbat cousin is there with ehr equally moonbat husband, they know enough to not start a firestorm.  Because 'return fire' will be heavy and sustained.

This year I'll be spending the day after Thanksgiving with my girlfriend's extended family.  Although she is conservative, and so is her immediate family, some of her extended family still vote Democrat for whatever reason.  I don't plan on talking about politics, as it is considered impolite in mixed company at a family gathering.  I guess Dummies never learned about common decency/common sense. No need to alienate people when you can talk about a variety of other non-contentious topics.

Yo, Chisholm, there are 3 football games on Thanksgiving. Who has time for politics? Just shut up and watch the games!!
