The many people that can't afford living out of their parents' basement
Can't afford moving out of it?
Yeah, outside of their parents' basement
To "live out of" can mean to live in, that's what confused them

Most healthy members of society dude 😭
Right? When my extended family gets together there are like 40 of us. I might try to avoid the ones that are MAGA, or at least avoid talking politics with them, but I’m not gonna refuse to go to Christmas or Thanksgiving just because my chuddy uncle is going to be there. I’ll just take a walk with the other queer cousins and get a little toasted before dinner
Must be nice for only some of them to be MAGA.
When they're all MAGA, though, sometimes it's best to just not go.
I’ll just take a walk with the other queer cousins and get a little toasted before dinner
Aww the cousin walk <3
My family extended to just 1st cousins is more than 80 people. Every single last one full maga Christo-fascists. Not worth being around.

Yeah, super healthy to go hang out with people who want people like you bashished from society because of who you want to love 🙄
How "healthy" it is to attend holiday gatherings with your family depends entirely on your family's chud ratio.

That's the weird thing. There's millions of people who would never hurt anybody up close and personal, but happy to keep hurting people far away by their choices. The same disconnect often applies to the negative consequences that hit them.
In those cases, if they're family, and you're used to seeing them, you can find yourself having superficially friendly interactions, they will be genuinely happy to see you, etc... And they will vote for death camps without a single pang of conscience because it seems like the normal thing they've always done.
I don't think they're the majority, but they're certainly numerous enough to be the primary enablers of a fascist takeover.
The ‘white moderate’
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Yep... and the only way we de-normalize it is to quit passively allowing it.

Going to buy a bottle of Blue Curacao, and learn some delicious blue cocktails.
Offer a Blue Wave to all my Uncles :)
malicious. delicious.
I love it.
One that sounds amazing to me is Electric Iced Tea. It's basically a long island, but replacing triple sec with the blue Curacao and cola with sprite or something.
ooo i wasn't planning on drinking tonight. that sounds good

I'm no contact with my conservative relatives. My family is shattered over politics and will never have a large family gathering ever again.
My family is shattered over many things, hatred, queerphobia, racism, misogyny, lust for violence, supporting pedophilia, supporting genocide. The magats can frame it as "politics", but I'll call it out for what it is.
I would never disown a family member over politics.
Fair. Politics can get real messy without ever reaching the the things you listed.
I have my hills to die on like free effective mass transportation in every city & I'm extremely anti car centric infrastructure but I'm not calling anyone fucking removed (despite me calling myself a removed) over that let alone going no contact. I went no contact because she's an abusive narcissistic pathological liar.

Put the pronouns back on the Christmas card aunt Karen!
If I'm lucky they'll finally shut the fuck up about "Somalians"* and talk about football instead, even though I don't really care about football.
*(I understand "Somalians" isn't what they're called, but the racists in my family never bothered to learn that.)
That's my experience. They just shut the fuck and don't want to talk about it when they lose, but when they were winning (just barely) it was all they could ever speak about.

Jokes on you! I cut everyone off and went full NC! 🫶🏻✌🏼
My uncle already had a nervous breakdown talking to me while collecting my rent.
Oh well.
I spend atleast an hour each week trying to convince my mom UFOs are almost always light reflecting off shit. It's been 20 years. When people believe in the mystery more than the reality it's hard to change their minds.
Today was "But your uncle saw 3 lights in a triangle pattern over the golf course and they just disappeared!" ... The golf course just off to the side of the flight path of a major international airport. Said golf course is on a hill with a river at the bottom. It was a plane landing or taking off ffs.
UFO believers in 2026 are somewhat hilarious to me. You mean to tell me we have thousands of ultra high resolution satellites around the globe, every airspace is fully mapped for security reasons, we are actively working on astronomy for the entire observable universe, measuring gravitational waves from things millions of lightyears away, and you think we'd miss some alien airplanes hovering in our clouds?
My conservative aunt, a registered nurse, still believe that if women eat cottage cheese enough when pregnant they can influence the outcome of the gender.
“Something to do with the lactic acid” or some shit.
Anyways, my repeated assertions, backed by her license and degree and testing she took (and one of her text books I pulled of her shelf) that shows that chromosome is deposited by the male … well.
It’s no wonder she also believes that “empty oil wells refilling” isn’t actually “improved technology making that bit that wasn’t economically viable before now economically viable” and/or high pressure seepage but rather “the hand of god providing for his people”
Anyways. She doesn’t get my delicious turkey this year, they aren’t coming … something to do with being a little bitch.
Mine are too delusional for it to matter. They'll just talk amongst themselves about how it was rigged and how the country is doomed.
And I'll just hide away in my room because I'm not interacting with that.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS MOTHERFUCKERS!
FREEDOM!
I welcome anyone to come to the good side and encourage the healthy policies that work and people want them when asked about them.
I don't visit the rightwingers of my family and the leftwingers of my family don't really intermix with them so I'm spared even having to talk to them.
Actually, there is one "both sides bad" centrist that I get along great with, my brother. I think his politics are very dumb but he is genuinely a well intentioned person. I feel like a hypocrite for tolerating him though considering my lack of patience for anyone else with similar politics.
I suppose maybe I'll really see once he finds out I'm trans. Don't know if I'm coming out this Thanksgiving though. It wont be obvious by then so I likely will fall under the radar.
