A sister that is a traditional conservative and brother that is a centrist liberal, they argue in talking points and both of their solutions are usually unrealistic garbage. It's a big family though so most just leave the room when they get going.

No one gets together in my family. Be nice to see them even if they brought up politics. I'd prefer they didn't but it would be nice to get together.
Could you take initiative to get you all together?
My mom did what was possible so yeah it is what is.
That's too bad, I hope you'll still enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Thanks I appreciate it.
Having homemade lasagna tonight.
We all good. My brother leans hard right and is super racist but he's also got the 'tism and we all know it, so we talk mad shit to his face when he starts up.
It's hard to take a guy seriously when he worships someone that would have sent him to the gas chambers.
Most of them since we don't do thanksgiving where I'm from
Family? What's that?
Avoiding most family this year, spending it with those I'm close with instead.
My uncle potentially, he may not bring it up (which would be nice) but still on edge about the potential of an argument. He's been dragging down my kid cousin to be just like him too. Even if there was an argument I know I'm not going to have any backup from the rest of my family as they're all leaning the same way, they're just more softly spoken and worried about 'civility' and wouldn't say the worst of it out loud.
Even my corrupted parents aren't planning on a Thanksgiving visit because of how toxic the family is.
The writing is on the wall.
Yo momma
