Welcome to On Politics, your guide to the day in national politics. I’m Lisa Lerer, your host. Thanksgiving and politics. Oy. Yes, politics has always been intertwined with the most quintessentially American holiday — just ask those turkeys the presidents pardon every year. But in the Trump era, there’s growing evidence that partisanship is having a serious impact on our Thanksgiving Day festivities (see: yesterday’s newsletter). A majority of adults say they “dread the thought of having to talk about politics at Thanksgiving dinner,” according to a poll conducted last year by PBS NewsHour, NPR and Marist. A study published in June found that celebrations were … [Read more...] about On Politics With Lisa Lerer: How to Survive Thanksgiving
