Gratitude has become a partisan issue.
Senator Schumer wants to argue about tax reform at Thanksgiving dinner. And he has a handy chart for lefties to take along and wave at their more conservative relatives while screeching about the 1 percent. In an article titled, “The Case for Ruining Thanksgiving,” GQ Magazine urges its readers to punish their parents who voted for Trump by staying away, insulting them or ranting about police brutality.
The Scientific American wants readers to push Global Warming over mashed potatoes. The organizers of the Women’s March want you to accuse your uncle of having “white privilege.” Desperate lefties can text Standing Up for Racial Justice at the dinner table and get anti-Trump talking points. “You Should Absolutely Fight About Politics With Your Relatives This Thanksgiving,” Quartz insists.
And then it just gets worse.
“Thanksgiving: The annual genocide whitewash,” declares Al Jazeera. “The Thanksgiving Day story represents the violence of colonialism,” fumes Bustle. Retelling the story of Thanksgiving, pardoning a turkey and watching football are all “offensive, racist, or just plain problematic”. And if Thanksgiving with lefties wasn’t miserable enough, the Village Voice offers 5 politically correct television episodes to inflict on your “terrible aunt or insufferable uncle” who don’t want to admit they voted for Trump.
There’s plenty of spite. What’s missing from leftist Thanksgiving is… thankfulness.
When Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, asked the press corps to state what they were grateful for, a collective howl went up from the media. “How Sarah Sanders Humiliated the Press,” wept a CNN editorial. The New Yorker railed against, “The Degrading Ritual of Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s Pre-Thanksgiving Briefing.” Asking lefties to be grateful is humiliating and degrading.
