Don't be an idiot. Family is more important than politics

With Thanksgiving coming up I've been thinking about how terrible it is what politics does to the people.
If you are not speaking to friends and family due to political differences you are being manipulated.
Now, maybe your relative is a jerk. In that case, it's not politics that is the problem. It's a relationship problem. Don't blame politics. But far too many people are allowing these clowns to reduce the quality of their lives.
If Trump can have a civil meeting with the Mayor of NYC you can eat a meal with your family member that voted wrong.
If Obama and Trump can sit together and laugh you shouldn't be dividing over politics. It's pro wrestling. It's fake. You are being played.
I see families divided and friendships broken over this stupidity. Most people are stupid when it comes to politics. It's just not that important. What is important is building strong families, community, and friendships.
Don't give in to the psyops.

Cutting off people over politics is stupid. I hate to point to one side but cutting people out of your life over politics is a very leftist behaviour and that is rooted in the fact that the farther left one is the more they assign their identity and self worth to their politics. Essentially politics is the religion of the far left.

I do see it far more from the left side in friends and family.

What makes it especially absurd to me is that most of these people once believed the exact same things as those they want nothing to do with. I'm not saying they are wrong but show some humility.

I think most people generally have more in common than they think.

Indeed. I think it was Michael Malace that said, your neighbor who votes opposite of you has more in common with you than the politicians in DC.

It's sad that people think politicians care about them or have any interest in making their lives better.

what about refusing to eat garbage sludge at the typical thanksgiving and xmas dinner? isn't that a parasitic infestation issue? i heard that parasitic mind control can even manipulate political preferences of rodents and other mammals; shud people be bringing horsepaste pastries to the gathering of infested bodies?
seriously, i cud quietly sip on my own filtered water and watch the matrix flourish, but that defeats my purpose of educating;
