The Bulwark Tim Miller’s ‘Guide to Surviving a MAGA Thanksgiving’: Writing Off Somebody You Love Over ‘F***ing A**hole’ Trump Doesn’t Serve You

‘And it doesn’t really serve anybody​​​​​​​’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: “I don't know that there's anything that I can say that will like fix that, right? You can't trick yourself into not thinking that. And so what I can say is this, is that fundamentally, like we're all -- we all are sinners. We just are. Like we all have bad impulses, bad thoughts. We've all made bad actions. And writing off somebody you love over this f***ing a**hole that's going to be the president, like doesn't really serve you, like -- and it doesn't serve them, and it doesn't really serve anybody. It doesn't do anything of value. And it doesn't mean you have to let them off the hook or change your views about them, but it does mean that kind of reframing it in your head in the context of like there are certain flaws that you look past in friends in your life, you know, and other family members. It's not like everybody that voted for Kamala Harris is a f***ing angel, you know? But you rationalize it, right? You look past it.”
