They were talking about people who have rescinded Thanksgiving invitations to family and friends based on arguments after the election.

One of the DJs summarized my feelings totally.

"Really??? This is not about the election, it's about Thanksgiving. Shut up and be grateful already!!!"

I laughed all the way to work.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving all!!!
 
Do people really do that? Someone would treat family and friends that way based on how they voted?

Yes! Sad but true. I have a long time friend who became quite fanatical during the election. Not only did she attack the candidate she attacked supporters. It was really over the top and she ended up disowning long time friends and family who didn't agree with her.

Oh well, I wish it was different. I care that my family and friends are alive and well. That's the greatest thing I have to be Thankful about. Happy Thanksgiving !
 
I work with someone who said she was so depressed that she closed her facebook account and cancelled her Thanksgiving hosting duties because she couldn't handle seeing anyone that might be happy. A few of us mentioned as nicely as possible that perhaps she needed to seek professional help because her reaction was a bit extreme.
 


Having family members who are arrogant, idiotic *******s, and love to show us how good they are at it, we will be holding our breaths this Thanksgiving. It will be interesting to see how things are going next Thanksgiving. I'm feeling they may not have as much to be thankful about.

I have "unfriended" relatives because of things they put on public media. I don't tolerate racists, bigots, and homophobes, not for one second.

Very sad this is what it has come to. We were in the mindset that either could win - good, bad or indifferent, the election is over. Let's pull together as a country and move on. At any rate, today is Thanksgiving and we have much to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

But I guess you can tolerate Intolerance, otherwise you couldn't tolerate yourself!

Um, I didn't say that, another poster did. But I also don't agree that tolerance needs to be offered to views that demonstrate hate based on race, religion, or sexual orientation.


I know & I was speaking in general - that said, my point still stands. You wanna change hearts & minds, you do it with open dialogue. And you (general you) might be careful how you use the word "hate".
