I usually spend Holidays solo. Many of the remainders of my family in this area are hopelessly Progressive Liberals. I would love to be a fly on the wall as the only occurrences to give them positivity are the winning record of the local NFL team and the price of gasoline is below $3.
Otherwise, the events this year for them ain't so great. There will be more joy at funeral homes than in their kitchen.
There's an old phrase that goes something like "a fanatic is someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
Mrs B and I have family across the political spectrum. If both parties are willing, there's more than enough to talk about for a few hours - how other family's doing, kids, nieces and nephews, work, sports, vacation plans, whether Uncle Otis shot his truck again (and how parallax is a thing), etc.- that we don't need to get into politics at any level.

Wife away visiting grandkids as my traveling days are over, so I'm a bachelor for 2 weeks (a.k.a. I cook what *I* want!).
I spent a split second wondering who the hell would spend Thanksgiving with The View witches, but then thought better use of my time.
Best of the season to you.
Why is it the most unpleasant people on TV are both named Joy?
Because of the fifth law of thermodynamics and its corollary.
(Fifth law: The irony of the universe tends towards a maximum. Corollary: preferentially via the most annoying process.)
