THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

I almost made a thread like this. I have very different political views from most of my family and it's a pain.

My tips:
- have a sense a humor at all times
- focus on critiquing systems, not people. Calling Trump an rear end in a top hat? No. Mentioning that those GOP tax cuts that Congress passed a few years ago only went to the rich? Yes.
- if they throw conspiracy theories with no evidence your way, come back with your own wacky conspiracies and ask them to disprove it
- accept that you are (probably) not going to change anyone's mind if they are past their 20s

We’ve had some in-laws go in hard for a dieting mlm and they do poo poo like sweeten desserts with Splenda and make side dishes out of prepackaged “fuelings”. Luckily it’s a potluck this year.

i'm a generally agreeable person and can tolerate all sorts of situations but like eight years ago at a friendsgiving, someone's sister i didn't know brought a completely fat-free spinach artichoke dip. nobody was trying it because it looked disgusting so i very conspicuously took a big bite and she immediately asked me how it was. the best i could muster was the full-larry-david "ehhhhhh" and i could see her die inside

There are 365 days in the year. How fat you are depends on what you eat during the 355 days that are not holidays. Diet versions of holiday meals are anathema to good health.

The same time will happen to everybody else at the dinner table, total political decimation of both Conservatives and Liberals.

Everybody is so loving confused when you tell people the truth.
The Truth is poison, and better than any lie.

And what are they going to do? Tell you to "GROW UP."
They can't! You won the argument. You call them children who need to grow up!
