The party of Peace, Unity and Inclusion? Pfffft.

These people are, incapable of that. Yet, they stand on their platforms, after destroying the Country, and it's MAGA that's the issue.

NEVER FORGET

Joe Biden must cancel Thanksgiving. MAGA and non-MAGA cannot break bread. | Opinion

Today I am calling on President Joe Biden to do the right thing for America and formally cancel this year’s Thanksgiving.

In the wake of the presidential election, the last thing any of us need to be doing is walking into potentially volatile mixed-ideology settings that often feature alcohol, long-standing feelings of familial resentment and easily thrown pies.

Maybe we can try it again next year, but this year, for the good of everyone, let’s all just stay home with our immediate family and friends and see if we can go a day without getting apoplectically angry.

You'd think your MAGA relatives would be happy. They're not. Logic would suggest those on the winning side ‒ MAGA fanatics, begrudging Trump supporters and people who didn’t really pay much attention the past decade ‒ would be cheerful as the dickens over President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. That doesn’t seem to be the case, however.

The social media posts I see from them, along with the regular MAGA missives I receive, are just as ornery as ever.

It’s almost as if an entire swath of the population has grown addicted to the dopamine rush of anger, to the point they can’t even celebrate the success of the guy who keeps feeding them things to feel angry about.

A real mystery.

And it's not like liberals are in great moods this Thanksgiving, either

Liberals like me, along with the independents and conservatives who know an impending crisis when they see one, are equally angry. And scared. And frustrated.

I, for one, wish I could lift myself up by the seat of my pants and, as Dr. Seuss wrote, give “a very sad, sad backward glance” then fly away like The Lorax. I tried to warn y’all, and you didn’t listen. So I’m out.

Alas, Seuss wrote fiction and I’m not flying anywhere, certainly not to a crowded table to gobble turkey alongside people who cast a vote for Trump.

What gets mistaken, I believe, is that what’s at issue here are values, not monetary policy or “big government vs. small government” disagreements.

I'm not interested in breaking bread with people who don't share my values

If you voted for an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon who wants to round up millions of human beings and put them in detention camps, who thinks transgender people shouldn’t exist, then we don’t have a common ground in which to chitchat over stuffing and pumpkin pie.

My ears are ringing from the loud and righteous calls that people like me need to “better understand Trump voters.” But I can’t shake the fact that no Trump voter has ever been asked to understand me, or tried to for that matter.

Nobody’s telling them to spend time with a family who has a transgender child and understand the damage that comes from ignorant cruelty.

Nobody’s telling them to meet with migrants who’ve fled vicious gang violence and certain death and risked everything to get here.

Nobody’s imploring them to make even the slightest effort to understand why issues like diversity and inclusion are morally right and really matter to people.

moar reeeeeee
