Somehow⊠I should be happy eating alone. I donât have to dress fancy. I donât have to mind my manners. Religion and political topics are forgotten. The only thing I have to do is⊠make sure the cats donât steal my food! (Grin!)
Politicians are tools. They are at the mercy of multi-national financial institutions, big pharma, etcâŠwhich own all of the major media outlets, who in turn promulgate the narratives that shape our perceptions of the world. Way too much on this topic for this small space. The early works of Adam Smith and currently Noam Chomsky are eye opening.
How to avoid discussing politics at the Thanksgiving table. First, surround yourself with those of the same political bent so you all agree and have no need to discuss; second, make a dinner so good, people are eating and not talking.
One good thing about this Thanksgiving, my niece wonât be coming out because she did that over the summer. She did it smartly. First to those she thought would be ok with it (there are a few bible banging idiots in my extended family) and eventually to her parents. Much more easier than a big announcement at a big gathering.

Someone on TV offered advice on how to avoid unpleasant discussions: Create a distraction! Immediately burn something!

Plenty of family bickering around. No need to have to add any of the political type. Did you hear about cousin Larry? Damn shame.

Many face-to-face discussions are not happening because weâre not even getting together.

Our politicians should be thankful that we havenât tied them up, tossed them onto a boat, and shipped them one-way to Antarctica.

Itâs to late for avoiding political discussion. Now we all should get under the tables to avoid political fallout. âŠvery toxic.

Three things not to talk about over dinner or in the office: sex, politics and religion.
At our age sex is something we can barely remember. We do agree on religion. We stay away from politics.

So we should avoid discussing ACC basketball here in North Carolina.
ACC basketball is as good as sex, controversial as politics and people definitely believe in it.
Sports is always good for a âsafeâ family argument.

I like the way they refer to you-know-what in the first panel without mentioning it by name.

Amateurs.. True Americans can argue politics while separated by a lot more than 6 feet.

If youâre eating your TG meal this way, you deserve to be subjects rather than citizens.
