PolitiFact Is Already Trying To Ruin Thanksgiving, And People Aren’t Having It

Perhaps I’m in the minority, but I’ve never witnessed or engaged in a huge political argument with a family member on Thanksgiving. It just doesn’t happen in my home. For us, Thanksgiving is about being GRATEFUL for each other’s existence, stuffing our faces with carbs in various forms and slipping into food comas with football playing in the background.

My Thanksgivings are politics-free, and I intend to keep them that way.

I know that’s not the reality for everyone. You can’t control other people, but don’t worry– PolitiFact’s got you covered.

If conversation turns to politics this Thanksgiving, these few topics are likely to come up: pre-existing conditions, the border wall or election fraud. Only *you* can prevent dinnertime political misinformation: https://t.co/pvaOXx29Qo#ThanksgivingWeek pic.twitter.com/kmnOaZPMW6

I have a better guide: If someone brings up politics and you KNOW it’s not going to go anywhere, change the subject.

Or you can tell your family that you love them no matter how they voted and please pass the mashed potatoes ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/4xOETUf3y4

Whoever wrote this must be the one big bore in the family that everyone dreads dining with & ignores completely on thanksgiving.

Just enjoy your family & friends & good good & ignore the party poopers.

Shorter Politicfact: "Here is how to destroy anyone who dares say anything that opposes liberalism on Thanksgiving."

To hell with that, anyone who wants to talk politics during Thanksgiving dinner will get tossed out.

How about no? You either don’t have to go or you can go and keep politics out of the conversation. A simple, we don’t need to discuss this. If you or those that you are having Thanksgiving with can’t leave the subject alone, go somewhere else.

Ban political discussions from the Thanksgiving table and just enjoy the blessing of having enough to eat and the blessing of being together.

Is that too much to ask?!
