It's Thanksgiving in the US. I was expecting it to be like any other year where the treaty to not talk politics would hold. But those who voted for He Who Shall Not Be Named have been consuming social media about how their families are turning on them and disinviting them from holidays. They have already indicated they will be stirring up drama despite being seated at the family dinner they were invited to. I have enlisted the help of three others to bluntly interject with an unrelated, apolitical icebreaker question when things start veering. We have about a dozen written down on cards so far, would welcome ideas on others.
How did it go?
The worst was conversation on Musk and Ramaswamy's DOGE thing. Jesus, it's cringe. The acronym is DOGE, get it? Like the cryptocurrency? Oof.
There was no full on confrontation, but if they have any sense they walked away knowing the whole family thinks they are childish and cowardly.
Oh I get the DOGE thing. So stupid and childish.
