In our family we’ve pretty much silently agreed not to discuss politics. It got pretty heated during Clinton’s impeachment and the 2000 election, so now we avoid politics unless it’s with a family member who pretty much agrees with our views. On the other hand my family has the full range of human foibles, pathologies, and virtues so every holiday is fraught with a certain amount of drama. I’ve found it’s best to have a stiff rum-and-coke before any family events – it makes the worst of the family tolerable, and the best even more loveable.
