1. It’s quite sad — at one time the ACLU was an organization to admire. Back in the 1960s or so, when they actually defended the Bill of Rights. Some years later they decided to stop doing that, and actively oppose parts of it (like the 2nd Amendment). It seems that they kept going down hill from there.

2. I choose not to have these conversations, and if my relatives don’t like it, they can get up from MY table, and the little fuktards don’t have to come back. I choose not to give any voice, or my heartbeats to demturds, and socialists. Death to the inquisition. #Iwillnotcomply

3. I will be enjoying Thanksgiving on a 12 hour shift at the firehouse. My wife and her handicapped brother are bringing dinner for my partner and I, and will join us for the feast.

   The only family members that would cause such “trouble” have been on the outs with the rest of the family since 2011, so even if we were going to have a get together, they would not be there. Thanksgivings of the old days usually ended up in political disagreements with my idiot brother in law screaming his nonsense at ever increasing volume, since he could never back up his arguments with any kind of logic. The conflicts in his walnut-sized brain must have caused him great physical pain.

   1. I am blessed with the opposite situation. My neighbors Wi Fi include #Maga and Trump2020 and my in-laws are recovering Tea Partiers. All the hard left relatives are 3000 miles away.
      BTW the NYT has a right wing uncle chatbot and Scott Greenfield at Simple Justice fscked it hard

4. If my daughter was the one above with her idiotic suitcase of leftist crap, she would not be allowed during Thanksgiving. Also, she can just forget about borrowing money, co-signing loans, tuition, being in the will, and so on.

   Welcome back into the family when she recovers from her “progressive” infection.

5. Your average leftist, progressive, whatever never actually matured past the mentality of a five year old. (Read the Kindergarten of Eden by Evan Sayet for a good analysis). When a toddler does not get what they want, they throw a temper tantrum. And very soon, they realize that if they do so in a public setting, their demands generally get met.

   Fast forward a few years. These mentally immature individuals that have been coddled by society for decades are now coming over to T-giving dinner, and doing what? Throwing a tantrum because you have the audacity to actually disagree with them.

   These very same people actually think hashtag campaigns actually change people’s minds. They think chanting and carrying signs will do something, anything about racism or whatever. Raising awareness is an accomplishment in their universe, even if they have zero proof anyone’s awareness was actually raised.

   Your average leftist, armed with their toddler level intellect (emotions outweigh logic, reason, or facts) and a few talking points, will show up, armed and ready to change minds and influence people. The fact that no one wants to ruin a family gathering only emboldens them more. Much the same way the tantrum in the middle of the department store has more likelihood of succeeding than the tantrum in the back yard.

   1. Good point about maturity. Today’s WSJ has an op-ed by Heather MacDonald that makes this very clear. Her only mistake is that she blames the immaturity of today’s students on the “adults” running the universities. The right answer, as you pointed out, is that those people are intellectual infants.

   2. My children can argue from facts that they have researched. I may not like/agree with the conclusions that they reach, but I will provide a respectful (and inquiring) listen, as they will with me.

      And, when they tried “performance art” in the grocery store, TDW-Mark 1 and i took the rest of our brood to the next aisle. No audience=no performance.

      Of course I *WOULD* rapidly scurry to the other end of the new aisle, so as to provide pediatric overwatch.

6. I havent spoke to my leftist sister since Christmas 2003. HER choice. I always spoke my mind. T day is going to be me my wife and my mom. My real sister came up 2 weeks ago with her hubby. Sad that “progressives” do nothing but wreck EVERYTHING. We the People should give em Jersey move em all there and then wall it off.

7. They all stopped coming when the (very wealthy) patriarch died and his will was finalized. Oddly, money was all they railed about and yet it appears it was the only reason they were coming around….
