I guess I'm lucky ,all the relatives I hypocritically had to buy for.....for over 55 years all got the message about 6 years ago ...don't go to Dotty's she hate Repubs . Yep , their all right ..I don't talk to Repubs .. I don't interact or buy from Repub businesses (even though my favorite donut shoppe was owned by Repubs ) . I imagine that shop and the whole shopping center realized that in 2019 after tRumps first failed impeachment . I'll never forget opening the door and asking are you a repub owned business and the lady answered yes ...like she was proud . I yelled Why ? Why ? Why ? Then looked at my husband out sitting three rows over in the car . I yelled "Nooooooo". Why? He got out of car and yelled what ? I screamed noooo their fucking Repubs !!!!!!!! He got back in car and I walked to car ...without my donuts ....but I felt good ... Since that day it's the first thing I ask if and when I go in any store . And my relatives have accepted ...I changed my name to KAREN ..and tell them all ....he changed his name to DICK .. If no one likes it good .. I've been to nice for over 70 years
That’s what I when they say ‘why are upset over politics?’ I say it’s not politics, it’s about the immorality and unethical actions of trump and you when you support him.
“Silence at the table doesn’t just enable their cruelty; it lets hate thrive and metastasize, while their hearts—Grinch-like—shrink two sizes too small.”
That assumes they have hearts, which many clearly do not.
Beautifully expressed; we are choosing not to celebrate Chronic with the trump supporting part of extended family for all the reasons you so eloquently articulate. Thank you!
What’s left of my family are Democrats, but too far away for holiday visits now, so I’ll be spending Xmas with fellow residents at my retirement facility. Hopefully, I’ll be having dinner with fellow liberals, but if not & Repubs don’t like us talking politics they can go to another table. Won’t let ill-informed & bigoted people take advantage of my politeness anymore.
That’s been a problem for us dems. We’ve tried to remain civil while maga went berserk, threatening death, etc. at this point we have to fight fire with fire. Harris finally started doing it about a month in but it was too late. And Biden has never been given credit for all the things his admin has done. History books will but that doesn’t help us now.

It’s no longer a difference of political opinion; it’s difference in morality.

Since 2015 I’ve gotten into several screaming matches with my folks. It never ends well because I’m the one who’s “out of control”.
I hope to always be “out of control” when it comes to fascism. I mean, what does “in of control” look like against that?

Thank you for engaging and subscribing, Carol. I wish you a great holiday with your like-minded friends.
