Speaking of Democrat presidential candidates – I know you weren’t but bear with me – The Commie is here to help you and your family have…ummmm…..’productive’ conversations around the Christmas dinner table. – Yes, friends, you too can ensure that Christmas day for you and your entire family rapidly degenerates into taunts, cursing and fisticuffs by following the Bernie Sanders handy “Family Persuasion Guide”.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Sanders campaign mailed out many thousands of these pamphlets to students on college campuses – where Communism is all the rage these days – all across the country. So, if you have a kid in school sucking up about 80% of your income to pay for his or her young mind to be filled with the joys of Marxism and Alinskyism by leftist college professors who have never worked an honest day in their lives, expect to be harangued on December 25 as the little jackasses munch down on the very expensive feast you have spent the previous 48 hours slaving to provide them.
From the pamphlet:
It’s up to us as students and young people to make the moral appeal to our older relatives to join us in voting for Bernie, because let’s face it: They won’t be around for as long to deal with the consequences of this election, but we will be.
Get it? You old people aren’t going to be around much longer, so the ungrateful oafs who expect to live out their glory years on the inheritance you worked all your lives to provide them plan to lecture you on why Orange Man Bad and why you thus need to vote for the near-Octogenarian who, like your ungrateful kids and their professors, has never worked an honest day in his entire life, either.
Of course, it is undeniably true that we Baby Boomers will indeed die off much more rapidly should The Commie be elected to the presidency – the shortages of doctors and medical facilities that will inevitably come about under a socialist regime will ensure that. Of course, Bernie will get his own medical care as a member of the Ruling Cast which also quickly becomes a feature of any socialist society. Your little 19 year-old ingrates are too ignorant to understand that at this point in their lives, especially since the public schools and universities work very hard to never teach them anything real about the desolation and deprivation any form of socialism invariably creates in its wake.
And that reality, of course, helps to explain why The Commie is so damn unpopular with the old folks. See, one advantage of growing older is that, with age comes this thing called perspective. You tend to learn stuff and retain some of it during the course of a human life, and one thing any human with the reasoning ability of the average alley cat learns and retains is that socialism is a lie, a lie that killed over 100 million human beings during the 20th century alone.
It’s also a lie that continues to kill millions in this century as wave after wave of younger people lacking in perspective, joined by old, lifelong hucksters like The Commie, continue to foist it on previous prosperous societies like, oh, say, Venezuela. Nevermind that people have run out of pet cats and dogs to eat now in Venezuela; The Commie, joined by AOC, assure us that socialism is just wonderful if only smart people like them are in charge.
That’s what Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot and Castro and Hugo Chavez all said, too.
So, friends, if your expensive little ingrate decides to start haranguing you and the other sensible members of your family on Christmas day with The Commie’s talking point messages, here’s what you do: Smack them in their stupid heads with the gravy ladle, march them to the front door, inform them there will be no more tuition money because you’re tired of funding this kind of nonsense, and tell them to go find some perspective in the form a job.
It will be the best thing you ever did for them.
That is all.
I don’t have any of those, and I never will.
And If I did, they would not be allowed in the house.
Don’t send them to said colleges. I have kids with masters in engineering and batchelors in business administration. Neither went away to schools that would proselytize them into Marxist behavior.
If I had a family member who opened their yap at my house about any Rat they would have to beat me to the door.
No presents. Give their stuff to the homeless parasites..
Wait until they finished college and go into the real world. It will bite them.
Had ours yesterday.
Didn’t talk about it. And that’s a good thing.
And as they put their work denying feet on the couch or The Resolute desk in the Oval Office, throwing them out quickly becomes the best option.
fixed.
Still trying to find that commercial - parents and college aged son walking on a beach. The son decided to quit everything and asked the parents for his inheritance.
“Bwaaaaahaa! We spent that YEARS ago.”
Cracks me up just thinking about it.
“Comrades, there is no Christmas under communism. Now about these gifts as you call them. These are considered a bribe so it’s off to the Gulag for your re-education comrades”.
> Didn’t talk about it. And that’s a good thing. <
That’s the best advice of all. I have liberal relatives who are wonderful, wonderful people. They are just sadly misinformed about politics. They won’t change my mind, and I won’t change theirs.
So politics (and religion) are simply off-limits at our gatherings.
Side note: But I will take the opportunity to gently guide anyone who is truly open to a brief discussion. I just won’t do that at the dinner table. And once I notice any resistance, I’ll change the subject.
I fixed that problem with my son a while back. He is paying for his college education. He told me that he was for Bernie because of “free” college. I let him know that after he finished paying for his education, he then got the privilidge of paying for some body else’s college for the rest of his life.
Thus ended the lesson.
The best way to deal with them is to stop paying their tuition and support. Give them a taste of reality. Eventually, they will thank you.
Step 1 - raise your kids correctly
Step 2 - they will not come home spouting the virtues of socialism
All four of mine, all in their 20’s are well grounded and range from apolitical to strongly conservative.
I’ve been warned about starting a political conversation with my young snowflake cousin.
Last year, I actually got her husband to hold a handgun. Major win in my eyes.
I don’t think a less electable candidate has ever been foisted on the American public.
He’s a drooling scowling snot-nosed angry old man.
“...Bernie will get his own medical care as a member of the Ruling Cast....”
That’s “ruling caste”. C’mon, Colonel!
I just point out he is an old white self hating Jew.
Then I laugh.
A crack-addicted, mentally challenged, albino African American Muslim would have a better chance of getting elected.
