Magazine Calls For Trump Haters To Ruin Thanksgiving for Trump Supporting Family Members
GQ’s Joe Berkowitz issued a call-to-action on Tuesday for anyone with a Trump-supporting family this Thanksgiving: “consider making life hell for a few of your relatives.”
“It’s time to ruin your Trump-supporting family’s Thanksgiving — for America!” Berkowitz wrote.
“This year, if you’re headed home to a household that still thinks a sex-offending game show host in rapid cognitive decline was the best choice for a president, it is your civic duty to filibuster Thanksgiving,” Berkowitz added.
Berkowitz offered three techniques for how to ruin a Trump-supporter’s Thanksgiving.
His first suggestion is for anti-Trumpers to simply disassociate entirely from their pro-Trump families this Thanksgiving.
“For some parents, your absence will speak louder than any sodden arguments over the density of pumpkin pie,” Berkowitz commented. “If you can’t even look them in the eye, they’ll know you mean business.”
For anyone who has the courage to engage in conversation with their pro-Trump family, Berkowitz recommends showing up and being “kind of an asshole.”
“No hugs; only stiff, formal handshakes. During the football game, talk about police brutality nonstop. Take any opportunity to emphasize just how much Bruce Springsteen and the entire E Street band loathes Trump,” Berkowitz stated.
And finally, for those filled with “righteous fury,” Berkowitz recommends going full-on “scorched earth.”
“Not even a handshake; just stare, disgustedly, at their outstretched arms,” Berkowitz wrote.
Berkowitz said these techniques were “more than just spite,” but is also “about potentially chipping away at the ~35 percent of un-budging Trump supporters.”
“Having a son or daughter loathe everything you’ve become is easier long distance; it’s another thing when that kid is staring turkey-carving daggers at you from across the table.” . . . .
