Everyone’s in a tizzy about how to talk to politically partisan relatives at Thanksgiving, but not me! First, because I would never have a meal with a Trump supporter. Not even my last meal on Death Row, which, as everyone knows, will be a burger and fries.
Second, because if someone spoke favorably of Donald Trump in my earshot, I would not hesitate to shout, “Are you out of your fucking mind? What the fuck don’t you get?”
Watching him at rallies, surrounded by drooling racist dimwits, it’s a chilling picture of a species I haven’t encountered much in real life but now know to fear and dread. I can’t imagine being face to face with this level of ignorance.
But even for family members, it is just not acceptable. I have no bandwith for excuses about “the people who feel left behind” bla bla bla.” If anyone is still okay with Donald Trump walking around a free man, there is no pass and no forgiveness. Sure, they’re stupid, sure they barely made it through high school, sure they’re incapable of reasoning and adding 2 plus two. Too bad for them.
If you’re passing the cranberry sauce and someone quotes Hannity or talks about those sneaky Dems and their secret hearings, just lean toward them and scream, “Shut up, you stupid piece of shit! You don’t deserve to vote, that’s how stupid you are!”
Then, carefully smash a pie in her or her or they face. Tell them that for every immigrant and refugee in a detention facility, that’s how many centuries they will burn in hell.
If anyone still comes to Trump’s defense, you know what to do next. Upend the whole table, housewife style, and say, “I care about the fucking Constitution even if you don’t, motherfucker!” and remind them that article 2 does not mean the President can do *anything*. Just for fun, point out that fetuses aren’t people.
I mean, how hard is it to have a plan for Thanksgiving? I don’t even see the problem. Just do the right thing.
If you’re a big pussy, you can print out this handy Thanksgiving discussion placemat from Neil Katyal here.
I so agree, Sister Wolf. These rallies are literally the scariest thing I’ve seen in my entire life. It reminds me of what I’ve seen of you know what. That they didn’t study hard in school is our fault? That they are unhappy and hateful is my fault? And here’s the thing. Sure everyone is entitled to their own opinion and even minor prejudices. But supporting Trump and laughing at his making fun of handicapped people, immigrants, his immoral acts (ie. rape) and crime, etc. is immoral, no debate, no question. If s person is immoral and lacks personal integrity, they are bad, they are dangerous, they deserve no respect, sympathy or understanding, and they are potentially dangerous, ir dangerous right now. Maybe lock them up?
Love this! Agree totally. XO
I agree with you Sister! Theyre too stupid to know how stupid they are. The utter reverence and belief in him is unfathomable. What exactly resonates with these “left behind” brutes? I’m tired of people spewing their thoughts about liberals. The elites. What? Do you think any of these Trumpets could set foot on one of his elite golf properties? I don’t think so. Do they really imagine this grifter who has billions on paper cares about them? Did Obama just drive a stake in their souls to cause such racism and hatred?
I do have friends who love a Trump. I’m surrounded by conservatives in Texas and have learned to stay calm. I simply tell them I don’t identify with con men and criminals. That does the trick.
Love it. My hope is that reports of how much support he has is overblown. But here we are in, if not the darkest timeline, then darkest timeline adjacent. I can’t even make spurious accusations of friends being Holocaust deniers because that’s no longer an absurd proposition and the goddamn fascists are making spurious allegations of antisemitism of their own.
Been invited to a wedding in Mexico but I’m not willing to leave the country because I may be on a watch list for calling out fascist cunts for what they are: fascist cunts. Fuck you, TSA, fuck you NSA, and fuck us all for venting online instead of protesting in the streets every goddamn day until the CHILDREN we have in CONCENTRATION CAMPS are reunited with family members. And fuck you, God, for not intervening in this shit. You’re supposed to be omnipotent; unleash a plague or smite the wicked, already! Unfuck this timeline!
On the other hand, God, you shitcorn eating motherfucker, thanks for allowing us to live at the same time as Sister Wolf.
xoxoxo
I suppose Impeachment’s not going well?
Thank you.
So, come clean now. Don’t you like your President?
