The “Morning Joe” panel had a discussion this week about the reckoning that some on our show believed should take place about Donald Trump’s sins against American democracy. One guest suggested that Thanksgiving dinners across America should be used as a forum for Hillary Clinton supporters to lecture Trump-supporting family members on how their vote promoted racism and xenophobia.
“Please pass the cranberry sauce, you white-privileged bigot.”
No thanks.
Since our family makes it a habit to not talk politics at holiday gatherings, I will leave it to others to pollute their Thanksgivings with such unpleasant talk. The better place for such nasty political forums might be at Republican meetings across the country. After all, it is past time that my party confront the ugly undercurrents that led us to this point and have been allowed to fester in the Party of Lincoln for too long.
