Gin and Tacos wrote: The conventional advice is "Avoid politics at thanksgiving" but as a political scientist I advise you go hard. Point out all the social welfare programs your relatives are on. When your uncle says "it's illegal to say merry Christmas in New York" call him a fucking moron. Challenge your Dad to a fistfight the second time he brings up Hunter Biden. When your grandma starts bitching about immigrants, tell her you tried to organize an intervention for her pill problem but couldn't find 4 people who want her to live. When your high school friend brings up the constitution, remind him that he got a D in 9th grade civics. Ask your "all lives matter" cousin if he has had any luck getting his '97 Mitsubishi Eclipse pregnant. Shatter a glass for effect. Holding our tongues got us where we are. Be great. Hold nothing back.
