MAGA/Trump-voting family + Thanksgiving, what’s your approach?

Politics aren’t something we can — or should — put in a private drawer and forget about or overlook.

Politics affect life and communicate values, and lack thereof. That a beloved family member is a loving mother or grandma etc doesn’t obviate their support of an assaulting conman etc etc who has active disregard for democracy or even safety of its citizens.

So, these Holidays, frank, civil, open conversation, listening, and repair is needed. And our MAGA family members need to realize that what they voted for is likely not what they’ll get — but what we voted against is likely what we’ll all get.
