The holidays are approaching and what was once a fun time with family and friends is now, honestly, a real headache. Not because cooking is a chore or you’re not happy to see them, but because there are one or more of them who are simply miserable leftists embittered by the humiliating loss that the Democrats (and their self-esteem) suffered during the elections. To hell with that, and them. If people are so consumed with politics that they can’t put it aside and just be a human being, you’re much better off without them in your life.

I get it, no one wants to exclude family members or lifelong friends, but it’s better than making your life miserable. If they can’t put aside a political defeat, fuck them.

Did you spend Thanksgiving 2020 complaining endlessly about Joe Biden? Probably not. You probably also didn’t spend one of the following Thanksgivings explaining to guests how Joe was progressing on the road to senility.

It’s more likely that politics wasn’t discussed at all, because why?

Unless you’re a left-wing drone, incapable of existing in a world where anyone dares to disagree with you.

I don’t know if I’ve ever asked someone how they voted, I either knew or didn’t care – rather, it hadn’t occurred to me to ask. Politics obviously came up in conversations, but since I work at it for a living and don’t want to deal with it 24/7, I’m generally vague about what I do. I guess it’s a bit like being a doctor who gets asked what he does at a party, so he tells the guy he’s a doctor. This guy then immediately starts explaining why he has this pain in his side and how much more it hurts when he does this, or would he mind taking a look at this other thing, etc. All the doctor wants to do is have a few drinks and hang out with friends.

No one wants to work more outside of work hours after a day or week of work.

It’s kind of like that when you work in politics: everyone has an opinion and wants to know what you think, no matter what the news is. Best to avoid it.

But they are strangers; people you don’t know. Friends and family are meant to provide respite. If they can’t be – they can’t just let it go and be the people they’ve always been – you’re better off without them.

As sad as it sounds, it’s true. People who get their news from MSNBC are more likely to be that way — those miserable, angry people who can’t stand losing or anyone disagreeing with them. Conspiracy theorist and congenital liar Rachel Maddow has conditioned the feeble-minded to believe that every wild conspiracy twists the dark recesses of the progressive dark web, and Joy Reid marine is into racism towards the self-hating suburban white crowd and anyone else outside this group refuses to do so. recognize their complicity in their own shortcomings and failures.

Reid advised those people to avoid anyone who voted differently on Thanksgiving. I say we will accept it. Your life will be better if you don’t burn a single calorie trying to convince one of these people, who will be forced to tell you why they aren’t coming, to come anyway.

Honestly, at this point, these people have already removed themselves from your life. In the lead-up to the election or at any time since Donald Trump took his escalator down in 2015, they have slowly gone backwards because you are “thinking wrong.” Let them go. If they want to come back later, fine – there will probably be a reason an old friend needs someone they know they can trust, if they escape the grip of the progressive cult of groupthink. In the meantime, don’t waste your time.

Your life will be a lot better if you don’t have anyone who would follow Joy Reid’s advice, no matter how close it may be. If they are willing to do this for political reasons, they are flawed. It’s not you, it’s them. It was always them and it would always be them. Trump didn’t break them, he exposed them. The left-wing media broke them and you can’t fix them. Accept this and move on.

If they are worth knowing, they will realize the mistake they made, and if they don’t, they are not worth knowing.
