Leftists PANIC Over The Possibility Of Having To Spend Thanksgiving With Trump-Supporting Family

Sites are now issuing “survival guides” for the forthcoming holiday.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means its time to start preparing for forced interactions with family members that you never see and probably don’t like — and leftists are in a panic at the mere thought of having to spend one meal in the same room as relatives who might have voted for Donald Trump.

Last year at this time, the Obama Administration was issuing memo after memo to Democrats, explaining to everyone from Millennials to union members, how to lecture on the topic of — err . . . make the case for — universal health care, while you had a captive audience gathered around the Thanksgiving turkey. The “talking points” ran the gamut from “obnoxiously out of touch” to “downright insulting to people who actually pay taxes.”

But this year, the same crowd is issuing survival guides for social justice warriors whose extended dinner table treatises failed to convince their blood relatives to select Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.

Because, apparently, it’s simply not enough to just suck it up and stay silent on the subject of politics when in potentially mixed company, so that everyone enjoys a national holiday devoted to eating, shopping and football, like true Americans or, in the alternative, just cook your own turkey TV dinner in the microwave before sitting down to a solo Samantha Bee marathon.

Anyway, Salon.com and AlterNet are leading the pack offering these tips for dealing with your potentially racist, most definitely wrong, Trump-supporting elders:

1. Practice “Radical Empathy:” The progressive outlets suggest that college students and the more highly educated engage in the practice of listening intently to their relatives feelings, whilst nodding condescendingly, as if acknowledging that a three-year-old’s desire to be a fire truck when he or she grows up is a legitimate idea. This works especially well with closed-minded adults, the magazines claim, because nothing will make a Trump supporter more confident in their election choice, than a 26-year-old career academic pretending to listen to their concerns about the economy.
