Woman reveals brilliant hack to stop family members from talking about POLITICS during Thanksgiving dinner

As Americans get ready to sit down with their family and friends for Thanksgiving dinner this year, there’s one topic many of them are hoping to avoid: politics.

For those who prefer their turkey without a heated debate, the creator of TikTok Neko Ashi has revealed her brilliant hack to keep the peace this holiday season.

“So Thanksgiving is coming up, and you’re worried about people arguing about politics. Come on people! I have a solution for you,” she said at the beginning of her 30-second video.

Instead of asking guests not to bring up politics and hoping they comply, she came up with an appropriate punishment for those who broke her rule.

She recommended announcing at the beginning of the dinner that anyone who brings up politics will be sitting at the children’s table and will have to entertain them for the rest of the evening (stock image)

“At the beginning of the dinner, announce that anyone who speaks about politics in any way will be seated at the children’s table,” she advised.

To make matters worse, they will also be “responsible for keeping the kids entertained for the rest of the night.”

“That should shut them up,” she said.

She ended the video by wishing everyone a “Happy Thanksgiving.”

‘The holidays are stressful enough. Don’t let politics make them worse!’ she added in the caption.

The hack would likely work in large households, but one commenter noted that they didn’t have young children at their party.

Some also pointed out that younger generations may be worse than adults when it comes to starting political debates.

‘We have no children. My Gen Z son would rip his grandma apart if she tried so she’s smart enough to keep her trap shut (hopefully),” one person commented.

‘Our children’s table is full of teenagers who talk more about politics than adults! Gen Alpha is fierce!” someone else added.

‘I refuse people. That solves the problem. No people,” another joked.

About six in 10 voters want to avoid discussing politics this Thanksgiving, one said Quinnipiac University National Poll which was released on Monday.

Only 29 percent of people are looking forward to discussing the state of the country with family and friends this year, compared to the 61 percent who are firmly against it.

“A healthy dose of ‘zip it’ will be on the menu as voters recognize that if they plan to ‘talk turkey’ at the big meal, it will be about the food and not politics,” said polling analyst Tim Malloy of Quinnipiac University. of the results.

And it’s something that the majority of Democrats and Republicans can agree on.

The study found that responses were similar for all groups, regardless of age and political affiliation.
