19. The literal elephant in the room.

I guess it's easier to complain about those other people. We have to have Thanksgiving with our relatives the Trump voters. Don't upset mom by arguing at the dinner table.

It's a very real problem for Democrats. We have been cowed, shushed, shamed, and gaslighted. It's fine for Uncle Bud to go on and on about what he heard on Fox News, but let one of us speak up and "it's not polite."
