We were scheduled to spend Thanksgiving with my very large extended family on my mother's side. They are small-town, South Texas, blue collar people for the most part. They are 99% Trumpers. As are my parents, who are single issue voters (abortion). I don't discuss politics with them and find it pretty easy to avoid the topic if it comes up. Plus, I'm pretty sure they all think that I think like they do. We have decided to just do Thanksgiving with just our immediate family - me, my wife and our three boys. We rented a cabin on the river in the Hill Country and we're going to spend the week being together, fishing, canoeing, exploring, seeing the sights. We're not doing this to punish my relatives, at all. This is about us and doing what we need to do not to feel totally depressed and isolated. But, there is a small part of me that hopes that some of them notice we're gone and understand why and regret it.
