30. Sorry to disagree.

If I asked my kids to give me suggestions on what they would like for Christmas and they answered “a coffin full of Biden,” I would be hurt at their rudeness to my intended kindness. Your dad, being an avowed MAGA, is probably hard to take to his family who can’t understand why he has allowed himself to fall for a grifter and a con man, but nevertheless, it’s not an appropriate response. Pot stirring boyfriend should have kept his mouth shut and sister might have said something like, “I would like good health for you in the new year, dad.”
