I might be wrong, but based on how Christmas went, I’m already expecting my relatives to be strongly supporting the ongoing genocide. They’ve made comments in years past about how all Muslims should be killed. I have a feeling this is going to be lovely.

If this is the case, and this could totally be wrong, I’m anticipating that I’ll be getting up from the table and this’ll be my last thanksgiving with them. I already told my parents after Christmas they can have me for one holiday this year because I can barely tolerate my relatives.

Again, things could go totally fine and we just all eat food and catch up. Thanksgiving might have better chances than Christmas.

I hope that’ll be the case. But my family is an excellent argument for God being made up.

I’m just venting and don’t really know where to put it at the moment.

    Also, a good way to shut down dogwhistles is to feign ignorance and ask them to explain what they mean. They get flustered when they have to say the quiet parts out loud.

      Since 2015, being horribly bigoted has been normalized. A lot of the MAGA crowd delight in admitting they want to see every person of color and competing religion drawn, quartered, hung, and burned to ash.
