59. Thanksgiving at our home

Will be the same as its always been. Oh, my republican family members might say something, but as happens every year, the talk will quickly pivot to something else. I would never abandon my family over a politician who doesn’t know we exist. You’re free to think and act differently.

IMHO, going through life only interacting with people and businesses and services who have the same political philosophy as me would be incredibly time consuming and thoroughly exhausting. Where do you start? A franchise owner of your favorite company is a Republican. Do you stop shopping there, harming the democratic corporate owner? Exhausting.

I love my family. I’m not shunning them over politics. Fortunately, they feel the same.
