Its what I thought.
The last thing you'd want during holidays is to put up with an annoying family member who starts ranting offensive politics. lol.
Some family's love debating politics over dinner, although I suspect they all tend to lean one way or another and maybe one or two take on the devils advocate roll
I am pretty sure the Kennedy family did that
I believe they prided themselves on being up-to-date, well informed and a certain willingness to hear opposing views at the dinner table
of course different world, different time and the political spectrum was no where near as wide, extreme or nasty as today
and the Kennedy family was a political family
I recall Ann coulter stated that she grew up with politics central to family dinners
i suspect these discussions were more one sided
family member have differing political views could happen
in such a divided political environment its not a terrible idea to just agree to keep politics and the nasty arguments out of bounds during the nice family dinner and discuss something else / anything else out of respect for mom/ dad/ granny/ grandpa /brother / sister /the kids.
if you cant manage that , you have an obsession issue and there is no reason to attend diner with a family you don't respect
that said, i can envision a scenario all going well then someone might open a bottle, the drinks start flowing and then all hell breaks lose
Yale University chief psychiatry resident Dr. Amanda Calhoun comments are ridiculous, because they are so partisan and so specific for 'liberals'
she does not consider the possibility an overbearing loonie lefty at a family dinner could be just as upsetting for others at the table
she likely needs time lying down on the cuckoo couch
