Twitchy has already reported only plenty of pieces to help out with politically charged conversation around the Thanksgiving table Thursday, with some urging white women to rehearse their talking points on systemic racism and xenophobia, but the most ridiculous being the New York Times’ interactive conversation with “Angry Uncle Bot” (the conservative outlier in the family, obviously).
Bethany Shondark made the strongest case yet: don’t talk politics at the dinner table.
Don't talk politics with family members tomorrow night — the Thanksgiving table isn't the Internet, @bethanyshondark writes.https://t.co/jM6mGVfwUd pic.twitter.com/RpCbn3Ked5

#NeverTrumper Tom Nichols, who shocked the nation earlier Wednesday by declaring on MSNBC that Boston is a better band than Led Zeppelin, appended this bit of advice to Shondark’s piece.
Instead, talk about Led Zeppelin and Boston. Trust me on this. https://t.co/zvJ96RbkwY

The only fool who’s going to suffer in that conversation is the one who prefers Boston, and he deserves to be ridiculed.
And how did that work for you this morning on MSNBC? Stick to talking about the weather.

You know I'm right! (I'm going to pull up to the house the next time blasting Boston.)

Boston wins that argument

You are seriously fraying that "expert" brand of yours.

If Led Zeppelin were 4 raccoons banging on trash lids whilst scrounging around for food, they'd still be better than Boston.
Fact.

Zeppelin yes! Boston? Ummmm

I was telling my husband about your feed today, and about how you went on Morning Joe and expressed the opinion that Boston is better than Led Zeppelin.
He said: "Well, he's not wrong."He believes that Zeppelin is overrated.

Zeppelin are overrated, but they're still better than Boston.
