I guess it would be asking too much of the average MAGAt to know the word "nibling".

Sounds like something you do before Thanksgiving dinner while nobody is looking.
Yumyumyum
Any idiot who says, "your body, my choice" at Thanksgiving is going to get force fed a drumstick the hard way. It is long past time to stop being polite with them. Women are dying because of this.
Yes, but no, wait, let's not ruin the drumstick. Let's use these salad tongs!
That's the point where I'd politely ask them to come outside with me, then beat the shit out of them while repeating "Your body (punch), my choice (punch)" until I felt they got the point.
Yeah. Last time I saw them they had a screaming fit in front of my kids about how much they hate black people. Unprovoked. They are SHOCKED we blocked them on socials. Like idk what you expect, but I'm not going to find out.
I'm in the opposite boat. My inlaws are all MAGA whereas my wife and I are very much liberal. This is 'her' year for visiting family and she does want to go, but I've already warned her that her entire family is on the THINNEST of ice. It's going to take a miracle for us to actually stay. I'm sort of looking forward to the first comment from them where we can simply scoop up the kids and head out.
My wife and I both posted images on Facebook about how we don't feel safe around people who voted Trump and don't consider them friends. Not even really decided if we'd say anything to family yet. Their parents sent them a message basically saying "so logically you don't consider us friends or feel safe around us." So that was the last straw. We aren't going.
logically
I'd have to grab the pic we both shared, but yes, it would've been a logical conclusion from it. But it was just so weird and passive aggressive to just text that to your daughter in that manner.

You might find this helpful. There will likely be another this year (fyi Beau took a sabbatical for workaholism and his wife Belle and collaborators are doing an excellent job of carrying it forward)
I guess that is the biggest crime the Republican party committed, it polarized society for decades now, taking us to today where families are falling apart over something as stupid as politics
Next stop: a possible civil war where not only neighbor kill neighbors, but even family kill their own members
Mind you, I'm not trying to excuse the fascist assholes, but a lot of these people were just people watching the wrong YouTube channel for a while, watching more and more fox news, etc... how would they have been today had they gotten normal content that wasn't specifically designed to brainwash him?
People who enjoy it when others are unhappy bother me so much.
I don't enjoy it when Republicans are unhappy. Sometimes I think they deserve to be unhappy, but I do not enjoy it.
Trump won the popular vote.
We're the ones that are not invited.
Thank god
Friendsgiving is the better holiday anyway
Promise?
Only because the left didn't show up. His base didn't grow--it's constant.
Dems said no leftists invited. Not crazy they didn't show up.
Leftists did show up. That's the real rub in all this.
The folks who stayed home were centrists without any strong allegiance, who never got their student loans forgiven or their energy bills reduced or their wages kept up with inflation.
While Harris was hobnobbing with Liz Cheney, they were door knocking for legalized abortion. While she was begging for money from Silicon Valley, they were trying to get weed decriminalized in a few more states.
And it's not even like Dems didn't win. Harris ran behind other statewide candidates in Arizona and North Carolina. In House districts it was even worse. Rashida Talib got twice the Harris vote count and won her district in a landslide, while Harris pandered to Israel to no avail.
I would love to see the statistics on this. Even more so if they do indeed show better electoral participation from the left. Sure, it would be a meaningless victory to see more fellow leftists looking at the big picture, but it would be something.
Also very true. Thank you.
We'll never know. It's easy to think that every republican showed up, but democrats sat it out.
Edit: is there a map of of people who didn't vote? Why am I getting downvoted lol
