Four Mass Shooting Truths to Shut Down Your Liberal Family Members at Thanksgiving Dinner

#9  Worse than that, M.: his father was an MMA fighter who became a p0rn actor. The kid changed his name because he was being bullied at school for it — and at some point his mother turned him over to the grandparents to rear. Link.

#8  I think just pointing out that the Colorado ghey bar shooter was "non-binary with pronouns they/them" will bring on grand mal seizures.

#7  Just ask them how long they've been Nazi's and then kick them out.

#6  I have one very liberal feminist niece. Her mother, my cousin is slightly left of sane too. Now liberals have no fucking manners, they'll bring their angst into your home and wave it around, create a scene. One get together, the girl started shouting about how all men must DIE! And nobody should argue with her as she knows best. I simply put her out with a crushed valium in her wine. As her daddy was loading her into the backseat of their Volvo later, he asked me 'You think she could be on drugs?' I gave him some line about rapid release of melatonin after a raving outburst being characteristic in post pubescent youngsters these days. 'The pineal gland gets a workout', I said. 'They blow up simply, then lie down spent'.

I do not think he was convinced. But the evening was salvaged. Next time they visited, she was very well behaved.

#5  The writer seems to think that your liberal family members will sit quietly and listen while you present these facts. That has certainly not been my experience. Far more likely they will become quite agitated, shout denials while you're trying to speak and might even start foaming at the mouth all over the cranberry sauce. Highly unlikely that you'll change anybody's mind. In the interest of peace in the family, it's best if you can convince everybody beforehand that there are certain subjects that will not be discussed over Thanksgiving Dinner.

#1  I think the conversation stopper at the family Turkey Fest would be "5 times as many people died from shoving various objects up their exit chute as were killed by AR's"
