Don’t forget that people bringing up reactionary and bigoted views are fine and co, you’re the asshole if you call them out on it cause then you’ve created conflict. Ready to emotionally and verbally shut down?!?!?!?! Ready to drink until you can’t deal with these people? Ready to be ganged up on for having social views more progressive than those expressed in a 2005 family guy or south park episode? Wanna be condescending to by the most shallow and dumb pricks you’ve ever met? It’s CHRISTMAS TIME LOSERS!
This is gonna be my day tomorrow. I would simply avoid it, except it’s also my little brother’s 40th birthday, and I will deal with an entire mountain of assholes to hang out with him - which is exactly what I will be doing.
Tomorrow, I will spend the afternoon with my awesome little brother, along with my MAGA parents and my absolutely detestable, horrifically bigoted older sister and her abusive, psychotic husband, who has fallen down all the Q rabbit holes on YouTube.
It’s gonna be great. It is absolutely not the reason I hate this entire season, and dealing with this dynamic all year for decades is definitely not at all why anyone would content warning themselves ever.
I did manage to escape briefly at 18, but then my oldest sister died suddenly and someone had to hold it all together. I have considered selling everything, changing my name, and leaving the country countless times since then.
Dang, they’re way worse than what I’ve got. Mine are just Harry Potter Disney adults and their family guy enjoying boomer parents as well as my aunt who acts like a French noble and talks about how great everything is while never lifting a finger to help. I ate nachos and played Mario Kary with my folks tonight and that was good enough for family stuff.
