I did not attend my family's Thanksgiving celebration this year (we usually go down to my brother's house in Baltimore - he's a democrat, but the rest of them are republican - one brother moderate, but my parents and sister and her husband are Fox news devotees). I just couldn't deal with it, I was so angry.
We were all together in upstate New York again this summer and there was no mention of politics at all. I have been to visit my sister in Maine a few times and again, no mention of politics. I am beginning to thing that they are having buyer's remorse and are kind of ashamed of their president. They are all good, educated, intelligent people, but politically, some of them just have such a bias against liberals.
I am just grateful that they keep their mouths shut and I do the same. It has made for a much better relationship. I think we all realize that speaking up, whatever our views are, can only destroy our feelings for each other.
