You can get this kind of audacity (especially with Leavitt) when you have a rightwing media human centipede. Democrats generally do not, so they have to contend with a pesky thing called reality.
And of course a populace willing to believe that minorities (such as undocumented immigrants) are the reason their lives suck? You can sell them everything.
Thankfully I'll not be having any such contentious discussions at my family Thanksgiving, because none of the people I have dinner with are rightwing fools.
As a vegetarian, when I was still attending the big family gathering, I learned that there is a thing in the UK where they put curry on mashed potatoes. Since the mashed potatoes was one of the steadfast "yes this is vegetarian" dishes, and I didn't want to have to deal with bringing something big/ complex to someone's kitchen, I brought a serving dish of curry to those last couple of Thanksgiving gatherings I attended. If you are vegetarian and like curry, try it over mashed potatoes!
I would say if, after nearly a decade of this you are still hosting and smiling for your out and proud MAGA relatives on holidays, that's a you problem and you need better boundaries. Of course, one thing I'm grateful for is that my family is either very anti-Trump or overall apolitical, so get togethers are pretty peaceful in that respect.
All that matters is winning the moment. It need not be consistent with any principle or even what's said *that hour.* Generally such product is intended for distribution for the rightwing media centipede, where the end consumers hear the Pavlovian trigger words and their next dopamine hit.
Ha, I missed that as I figured I don't need to hear them rambling on-
I make a tofu turkey from scratch, as I've had some heartburn from the tofurky ones. I'll take the progress on the narrative. This is the one I make- I've also made it in a simple casserole form, which we'll have again this year because the oven (if it gets delivered today) won't get connected until Monday, so it's a microwave- grill- airfryer feast we have planned.

It's hilarious how, after all these years, I can still remember the lyrics to so many of those Dysfunctional Family Christmas songs!
We cut those people off the first time around.
On another note, is there really $3/gallon gas out there? We are almost up to $5 in SoCal.

After years of soyboy bashing, it’s jarring to hear Fox promoting Tofurky and accepting vegetarian meals.
