This November is extra weird. Without a shred of self-awareness, a lot of people are about to go from:
* Getting on social media to blame Black men for Trump winning the election
* Going home to eat Thanksgiving dinner with their family, most of whom are Trump voters
* Getting back online to despair about "Whatever shall we do now?" And "Something must be done!" And "Why did men do this to us?" And "Why didn't Black women save us?" And "What's up with Latino men?"

You want to fight fascism, but the call is literally coming from inside the house. Not a figurative house. A real house. Your house.
Trust me, I do understand that some families are tough, and confronting your family is challenging. I get it. Sincerely I do. It's difficult. I'm not asking you to fight.
But don't pretend that you don't know who's voting for Trump, and don't you dare pretend that Black strangers that you've never helped, didn't do enough to protect you from your own family.

Jesse Watters is the Fox News host that says nonsense like "men shouldn't eat ice cream in public." His mom is not a Trump voter. She is deeply disappointed in him, but tries to love him. He makes a joke out of reading her disappointed texts on air.
He recently shared on air that he has been uninvited from Thanksgiving dinner this year. She said he can come to the house on Friday, but not on Thursday.
Jesse's mom has taken a bigger step than most fascism enablers are willing to do.

@mekkaokereke I am encouraged by the number of social media freakouts I'm seeing third-hand from Trump voters because close family members have cut them off.
At least some of them are finding out.
@MichaelTBacon@social.coop @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io I wish more of their family would have done stuff like this sooner, before we got stuck with another Trump occupation of the whitehouse with the looming threat that many (if not all) of us may not be allowed to vote him out again.
