In General
You should never discuss politics or religion in polite company. It’s a saying for a reason, and most of us can agree that keeping the conversation light and general is the best choice when interacting with relatives you KNOW you don’t agree with. YouTuber Brandon Calvillo knows this from firsthand experience.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this conversation takes place at every holiday dinner, every year. Some people are just looking for a reason to bring up politics and express their opinion; you don’t even have to try hard to aggravate them. Simply commenting on the delicious turkey might send them spiraling!
