Has The Time Come To Forgive The MAGA Republicans In Your Life?

While you’re thinking about forgiving your MAGA relative, they’re thinking about Great Replacement Theory, QAnon’s new Blood Libel, and how many people need to be publicly executed to “save America.”

This Thanksgiving, you may find your Republican relatives somewhat grumpier than usual. To be fair, they have an awful lot not to be thankful for. They blew their shot at retaking the Senate. They lost almost every single governor’s race. Democrats flipped multiple state legislative chambers while Republicans flipped none. Even the usually ignored Secretary of State races went badly for Republicans and they were really counting on those to, ahem, “protect the vote” in the 2024 presidential election.

As they wallow in bitterness and misery, you, a liberal filled with empathy and compassion, might feel the urge to feel bad for them.

Stop that. Do not spare an ounce of pity for the Republicans in your life.
