Do not, I repeat, do not bring the election into conversation at the Thanksgiving table.
Thanksgiving is a time to spend time with family and friends and to be thankful.
Politics has no stake in that (even if it believes it does, don't listen!).
It's a time for togetherness and love.
Tell me, when has politics ever expressed togetherness and love? (Answer: Never).
So, after a grueling election with a lot of backlash and hatred, I'd like you to repeat after me. And thank you Chuck Palahniuk for this beautiful phrase.
The first rule about Thanksgiving table talk, is we don't talk about the election or politics. The second rule about Thanksgiving table talk, is we don't talk about the election or politics.
This has been a PSA from a college student who simply doesn't want your family at each other's throats on this holiday of giving and family.
You're welcome.
