On the same day that The New York Times profiled ways to argue with your conservative family members over Thanksgiving dinner, thereby ruining the beloved holiday for everyone, the foodie website Eater argued that people are morally obligated to debate racist Trump supporters at the dinner table.
The piece by Amy McCarthy begins by painting a bleak picture of Trump's America that's quickly headed toward the dystopian future depicted in "The Handmaid's Tale," a country where children have been separated from their families at the southern border and where mass shootings dominate the news.
"Moderates everywhere still insist that being nice to your racist, Trump-supporting relatives at the Thanksgiving table is somehow going to be the balm that prevents us from ending up in Margaret Atwood’s Gilead," begins McCarthy. "That assessment is, frankly, a steaming pile of bulls**t."
McCarthy claims that such calls for civility are simply conspiratorial ruses enacted by privileged white males who seek to pacify people.
