A great piece of advice in general, not just for the holiday season.

“There is a push, I think just a societal norm that if somebody is your family that they are entitled to your time,” said Calhoun, “and I think the answer is absolutely not.”

This is a really good rule of thumb for dealing with toxic people in general.

True anytime, but especially in this season when they may be especially gloating and trying to goad you. A year or two from now, when they’re starting to feel the repercussions of the Reich Wing’s policies, might be a better time to see them again.

My wife mentioned that I would be exempt from Christmas with the Trump loving in-laws this year and I’m probably going to take her up on that.

Sometimes the only currency, the only leverage you have with your family is your presence. Don’t be afraid to use it for a good cause.

I’ve often wondered why I was forced to spend my holidays with people just because our DNA had some similarities.

I plan on not sharing any information with my inlaws. I used to be jokey, they want concentration camps for illegals. The time to cut them off should of been years ago.

Edit: I should note my wife and her brothers and sisters don’t get into details when talking to them as well. I’m guessing they think the same thing.

Any turd voter should be isolated from sane people, no matter if they are lgbt+ or not.

A turd voter has to be considered dangerous for anyone else.
