BuzzFeed is taking the election result badly. Actually, it seems to have become quite unhinged:
My Husband And His Family Voted For Trump — So I’m Canceling Thanksgiving And Christmas
“I will not unwrap gifts given to me by people who voted for a party that has talked about building internment camps and mass deportation.”
The article doesn’t get any better from there. It really is a complaint that those close to the writer voted differently than the writer preferred, and therefore, the holidays are off. Including almost joyously bad claims like:
I immediately texted, “I love you, but out of respect for me and all my liberal writer friends, can you please take down that post? Also, tell your family I love them, but I will not be coming for Thanksgiving, and I won’t be hosting Christmas. I need space.”
So, that Julia Roberts ad where the women get to vote their way not their husband’s, in that privacy of the election, doesn’t work when the boot’s differently footed?
One interesting commentary on the political bias of the media is that this, yes this piece, is what BuzzFeed decided to reprint from HuffPost. Nothing useful, analytical, just a whine.
But there’s more to it. There’s absolutely no reflection – none at all – about why those close to her voted the way they did. She simply assumes, insists, they they’re wrong, she is right and that’s all there is. Which has always been the problem with the “liberal writer friends” and progressives and the woke more generally. They are entirely incapable of believing that not everyone agrees. That some of us have a different view of the world, hold different moral or ethical principles dear. Even, that a majority – as has just happened – of the voting public don’t agree with the plans. They have, that is, no empathy at all.
And that, in a democracy, is a significant problem. For the people who insist that we are wrong, or evil, or misled, won’t accept the democratic decision. We’re going to have years, as here in this story about the one family, of rejection of that collective decision. Including an insistence that it must be undermined.
It ain’t over yet because the progressives aren’t going to accept that collective decision.

The whiner oops liberal writer apparently has NOT figured out that with or without her those Holidays WILL still occur. Hopefully the rest of the family will still have a joyous and thank filled time.
Why can’t they “Wake Up” and walk away from the Democrat Party of self serving globalist Establishment Elites like we did?
Think of how much money American patriots will save in this cruddy economy you radicals caused.
I am 74, have worked with the public all my life, often in taxing situations. Have never heard such pathetic, childish temper tantrums from so many who ought to know better. Apparently, they have chosen to know nothing, to see only distortions that are gavaged into their brain by the corrupt media sell outs. I also blame the education system for restricting information, perspective and not teaching basic analytic thought processes to school children at age appropriate consistent levels. A lost generation indeed. people have chosen to be lobotomized.
Thank you for your article. Liberals should grow up and act like adults. You cannot argue anything with them because they are always right even though they are LEFT.
Excellent Analysis….and calling out hypocrisy of the ‘moral elites’ once again.
Another example of how insane the left is – and why they were soundly voted out of office! The woke agenda is finished!
