Who the fuck still does holidays with their MAGA relatives?

I've barely spoken to most of my family for two years. It's really quiet.

The many people that can't afford living out of their parents' basement

Can't afford moving out of it?

[–] csolisr@hub.azkware.net 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah, outside of their parents' basement

Most healthy members of society dude 😭

[–] compostgoblin@piefed.blahaj.zone 39 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (23 children)

Right? When my extended family gets together there are like 40 of us. I might try to avoid the ones that are MAGA, or at least avoid talking politics with them, but I’m not gonna refuse to go to Christmas or Thanksgiving just because my chuddy uncle is going to be there. I’ll just take a walk with the other queer cousins and get a little toasted before dinner

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 28 points 1 week ago

Must be nice for only some of them to be MAGA.

When they're all MAGA, though, sometimes it's best to just not go.

Aww the cousin walk <3

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

My family extended to just 1st cousins is more than 80 people. Every single last one full maga Christo-fascists. Not worth being around.

Yeah, super healthy to go hang out with people who want people like you bashished from society because of who you want to love 🙄

[–] Schmoo@startrek.website 10 points 1 week ago

How "healthy" it is to attend holiday gatherings with your family depends entirely on your family's chud ratio.

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (13 children)

Our families invite process is fairly simple. If you can't last family time during holiday without talking politics, you aren't invited. I think that's a fairly healthy ask. I think only one person was excluded from family planning/gathering due to it, but thankfully the feeling was mutual because they couldn't isolate their political side from their actual personality and as such didn't want to be in an environment where they couldn't talk politics anyway.

I get dragged with. Really debating putting my foot down on the Mega church visit this Christmas though. Such a vile place.

Going to buy a bottle of Blue Curacao, and learn some delicious blue cocktails.

Offer a Blue Wave to all my Uncles :)

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago

malicious. delicious.

I love it.

[–] chunk6235@piefed.social 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

One that sounds amazing to me is Electric Iced Tea. It's basically a long island, but replacing triple sec with the blue Curacao and cola with sprite or something.

Get some malibu, white rum and pineapple juice. It's called a blue Hawaiian.

Put the pronouns back on the Christmas card aunt Karen!

If I'm lucky they'll finally shut the fuck up about "Somalians"* and talk about football instead, even though I don't really care about football.

*(I understand "Somalians" isn't what they're called, but the racists in my family never bothered to learn that.)

That's my experience. They just shut the fuck and don't want to talk about it when they lose, but when they were winning (just barely) it was all they could ever speak about.

My uncle already had a nervous breakdown talking to me while collecting my rent.

Oh well.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

Revenge for holiday 2024.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I'm no contact with my conservative relatives. My family is shattered over politics and will never have a large family gathering ever again.

I was so well-behaved these midterms I brought up these elections to no one

But boy did they bring them up to me...

I was supposed to finally enjoy a short little moment of peace and instead I've slept a total of 8 hours in the past two days...

Who wants to bet if Epstein files will still remain unreleased?

It's theatre.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They could leak it right now.

They don't even have to have the actual files in hand. Just share what they've seen with their top secret clearance. One press conference.

They'd be heroes to every non-billionaire in the USA, and Democrats would hold office for the next 40 years uninterrupted.

I wonder why they don't? Hmmm. It's a puzzler
