Ah, the joys of spending Thanksgiving with right wing nuts [View all]
Yes, another enjoyable Thanksgiving with my family and the folks they invited. It all started when my SIL and her father spoke up at the same time and said how the President was driving the country to disaster, the ACA was going to be the demise of the country, and those horrible "non-traditional" folks were soaking the USA with their completely unfounded welfare claims.
To which I responded "that is one opinion, a rather shallow opinion, but an opinion nonetheless" and asked how they could support the basic tenets of the ACA when it was a major proposal of the GOP when Newt was promoting healthcare reform but not when the first Black President pushed the same reform, then asked what ME country they wanted us to invade to advance the good old USA instead of trying to improve the lives of fellow Americans.
Silence befell the group. Not a response from the RW'ers.
Three glasses of wine later they left and I enjoyed my reheated dinner.
I will be alone for Christmas rather than endure any more of those stupid fucker's nonsense.
I wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.
