General Discussion

Did your MAGA relatives tell you to take a hike in 2020? During Obama’s two terms?

When I see my family and friends, the first thing we talk about isn’t politics. Maybe it’s all consuming to you, but maybe not them?

I know it’s popular here to brag about how you’ve disowned family and stopped being friends with people over politics.

If your family has been abusive, that’s a different story. But disowning a family member over a sign in their yard? Over a political view? Over a politician who has no clue you exist? Please think hard before you cut them out of your life altogether. I think this is how people end up so lonely in their later years. Political views evolve. You may disown someone, never talking to them again, who years down the road, ends up agreeing with you. But the tie has been severed.

My home on Thanksgiving will be full. Will politics be brought up? Maybe. But with family and friends, there is far more to talk about.
