Apparently, many on the Left no longer see Thanksgiving as a time to come together, enjoy turkey and catch up with loved ones. Instead, it’s a toxic minefield of possible encounters with Trump-voting relatives that they must avoid like the plague to protect their fragile mental health – or a chance to wage holy war against the threat of fascism as they pass the mashed potatoes. 

Exhibit A (a woman who can’t even look at her husband because *GASP* he dared vote for Trump) or Exhibit B (Fox News’ Host Jesse Watters uninvited by his mother from Thanksgiving – ouch!). Yep, that’s crazy. 

It struck me, amidst the many people fretting about how the Left will get through Thanksgiving, no one has written a guide for us Common Sense folks to handle these crazies over the holidays! What do you do when your niece calls you a fascist, your cousin corrects your pronoun usage, or your uncle threatens to leave the country? 

But, you argue, we’re made of tougher stuff! No safe spaces needed! What’s this nonsense all about? 

Ok, so instead of a guide, how about a laugh…

Top 6 Tips for Common Sense New Jerseyans to Thrive This Thanksgiving: 

1. Pull out your phone and start a GoFundMe to cover your uncle’s one-way ticket to Norway, Australia, or some other socialist bastion where he can take refuge. 
2. Take a drink every time you hear “fascist” or “misogynist” (…proceed with caution depending on how many Leftist Lunatics are around your table).
3. Take a poll of your relatives (serious poker face required). Exactly how many days (or hours? minutes?) will democracy stand after Trump takes the oath of office? What is appropriate attire for his coronation? Which department of government should be eliminated first? Be ready to whip out a pie, a coloring book, and a change of topics if someone has a meltdown. 
4. Lead the table in a mournful chorus of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah – (a ‘la SNL’s Hillary after 2016).
5. Play Bingo using our special Leftist Lunatic Bingo card – download our array here.
6. Chuckle and enjoy your dinner – just like the good ole days.

We are hard at work saving our state from Left Wing Lunacy, so saving Thanksgiving shouldn’t be too tall of an order for the Common Sense Majority! 

And remember, our relatives might be secretly thanking us next year when they have a higher paying job, cheaper gas, less crime, peace in the world, and democracy still standing strong. God bless America! 

As we head into the holiday, I hope you are experiencing all the joy and beauty of the season, loved ones, beloved traditions, and holiday spirit. We really are entering the most wonderful time of the year. 

Thankful for you all… 

For New Jersey,
