Not a single trump voter at our thanksgiving table

[brokephibroke]

Hope you are as lucky! Enjoy the day with your friends and,family and don't forget, liberalism always triumphs long term.

[Irish_Dem]

1. That is certainly something to be thankful for.... nt

[Va Lefty]

2. Same at our table!

[MANative]

3. Grateful to say that the same is true at mine.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Cirque du So-What]

4. Nor mine

One more thing for which I am thankful.

[lunasun]

5. Same. Enjoy your day!

[TomSlick]

6. I suspect we have a couple of Trump voters at our table

but they'd never admit it. Too badly out numbered.

[Aristus]

7. Nor at ours.

Mrs. Aristus will be the only erstwhile Republican. But she hasn't voted -R- in a Presidential election in years.

Thanksgiving dinner will be a safe place tonight.

[Freddie]

8. Us too

I am extremely thankful that ALL of my relatives but one is on the correct side of things. My Republican cousin never comes to our family things (she does holidays with family on her dad’s side) which is fine. She’s a retired teacher who enjoys a nice pension thanks to the teachers union, go figure.

9. I would never break bread with a trump voter

may they all cease to be and go to hell

[Arkansas Granny]

10. The same with our family. We are truly thankful!

[democratisphere]

11. Lucky you. Sounds like you hang out with smart people.

I have several deplorable drumpf voters at my table and they give me more than indigestion.

[Doreen]

12. No, everybody I am with is smart.

[SCantiGOP]

13. Me too

8 out of 9 voted Dem.
Only one who didn't is 13 years old and is probably the most anti-Trump person in the crowd.

[edbermac]

14. Nothing but Trump voters where I am.

Been here a few days and his name hasn’t been mentioned once. I suspect they’re too embarrassed.

[brokephibroke]

15. My advice

Talk mostly about baseball. Happy thanksgiving.

[kimbutgar]

16. Last year no one at our thanksgiving table supported twitler

This year we might encounter my cousins in laws who voted for twitler. It will be interesting but I am not going to say a word about him. I don’t want to lose my appetite.

[DFW]

17. Nor ours, but out of 20 people, only 2 can vote in the USA anyhow.

The rest are citizens of other countries. I had to work all day today, but we are having our big dinner tomorrow night.

[aka-chmeee]

18. Don't know for sure, but if there were, they were damned quiet. nt

[Danascot]

19. At the beginning of our dinner with 24 relatives

our host, my brother-in-law announced that politics and religion were off limits as topics for the duration. My b-i-l is a wise man.

[Yonnie3]

20. Not a clue about our table.

Giving thanks that no one talked politics.

[Dulcinea]

21. Same here!

It was just me, my husband, & our two teenage daughters. We all agree that Trump is an abomination.

My 16-year-old may be Trevor Noah's biggest fan! We DVR the Daily Show & binge watch! We call him her TV boyfriend.

[sofa king]

22. One sentence was all I heard, all day.

Not going to sugar coat this: I spent Thanksgiving with a racist hyperconservative faction of my family, the same ones who spent this time last year in total jubilation and triumph. This year?

Ancient Warhorse: Thank God for McMaster, huh?

Silence...

Silence...

Silence...

Silence...

Aunt: This gravy is great.

I was very, very impressed. There was a weight of shame and regret in that non-response that I frankly never expected to see. Every single one of them yesterday could hear their own parents and grandparents hissing at them, "traitor." And now they can finally hear it, 13 months too late.

[Baitball Blogger]

23. We invited the Trump supporting side of the family.

But, they had other plans.

[Upthevibe]

24. I was with a mixed crowd but not ONE

word regarding politics, current events, etc. was mentioned....I also think people are inwardly embarrassed (but who knows)...

[Thor_MN]

25. I am sure there were a couple, but they kept their mouths shut other than to eat.

[Gothmog]

26. Same here

The genes in my family and the average IQ precluded having a trump supporter

[Alice11111]

27. Mine was the usual 50/50 split. We don't talk politics, but

it is all around us...tension. Even the football game sparked my aunt saying that she couldn't watch it any more after the kneeling, as though she expected us to agree with her, rather than change the subject, but most of the Repubs were watching.
We did have fun and laugh a lot though. Having very young kids around provided lots of distractions.

[Comatose Sphagetti]

28. Out of 11, we had three djt fans.

My wife's side of the family. They never said a word about politics. But they are polite and I wouldn't expect them to anyway.

I didn't go to my family's TG. They are all, each and every one, trumpers. Probably 20+ of them. I didn't want to go there and, luckily, our dinner went long so I called and canceled.
It is so, so sad and heartbreaking. I love my family. They have been there for me in rough times and would be again. But I don't want to be around them. It is like they are from an alternate world. The religiosity, authoritarianism, lack of critical thinking skills, cognitive dissonance - I cannot begin to comprehend it. It is as if they have been taken from me - victims of a communal psychosis they cannot and refuse to see.
I used to work with people in recovery. I see the same symptoms in trumpers I saw with addicts - delusion, denial, rationalization, minimization, grandiosity, self-centered fear. And as with addicts, it might take catastrophic consequences to the deluded to elicit change - and sometimes not even then.
