How do you deal with Uncle Goober?

We all have at least one Uncle Goober: a rabid conservitard who endlessly bitches about THEM GOLDDURN LIBURRULS, worships Trump, believes every word that comes out of Mother Tucker's pie-hole, blames everything up to and including the weather on Biden, and uses the word "woke" in every sentence. He's vocal and loud and inserts himself into every conversation. You can be talking about candy bars or hockey and he'll tell you how THEM DEMMURKATS IS DESTROYIN' DA COUNTRY. And of course, he's a proud racist, sexist, and bigot.

You'd normally not get within fifty miles of this guy. But he's a relative. So you see him at Christmas, Thanksgiving, weddings, whenever. He ruins any gathering, and you dread sharing a dinner table with him. And there's always one other guest who encourages his speechifying. You're seriously considering getting "sick" next time there's a family gathering. What do you do?

Tolerate it for the sake of family harmony? Explode and chew him out in front of everybody? Just stay away, and if anyone asks you, tell them exactly why? Grab a Ginsu knife, meet him in some dark alley, and turn him into sushi? Play along with him, act like he's a prophet, and encourage him to bloviate?

I have an Uncle Goober, and this year, there's a Fourth of July gathering at his house. I'd rather be smeared with honey and buried in an anthill.

I have Trumpers in my family and I found the best way to deal with them is to get them worked up. If I was seeing one in the next few days I'd say something like what do you think about Trump going to prison in New York. Then I'd let them rant and rave. I like to get them all frothing at the mouth and ranting like a luntic. It's great holiday fun making them look foolish in front of family.

Mine was a cousin, last year family reunion.  I had been forwarned.  At our first encounter I just quickly changed the subject...was easy to do with all the hugging and hey, so glad to see you and oh, look there is Aunt Maudie over there, must go grab her, see ya later kind of dodges.  Avoided contact every chance, made sure we weren't at the same table at meals, etc.  No worries. 

Kevin Lewis is not credible when he writes that he detests having anything to do with "rabid conservitard[s] who endlessly bitch about THEM GOLDDURN LIBURRULS" since he spends all day here, every day, week after week, month aftter month in Sisyphean, insult-laden, ad hominem argumentation with rabid conservitards who endlessly bitch about THEM GOLDDURN LIBURRULS.

I thought that I was the only one grasping the the obvious.  

     Ditto

Amen!  

He still has ultimate-life-loser Toad following him along though like with this third-grade mentality.

You're making my point for me: Trumpers are obnoxious and best avoided.

Boiler, you ain't CAPABLE of grasping the obvious.
