I’m doing something a little different. This episode is for anyone who is walking into a holiday or family gathering with that familiar knot in their stomach — because you care about your relatives…and you know the conversation is going to wander into MAGA land.

You might be thinking:

• I don’t want to fight.
• I don’t want to be embarrassed or backed into a corner.
• I’m tired of being told I’m brainwashed by ‘the liberal media’ when they’re repeating some Fox segment from last night.

So, this episode is a toolkit. A survival guide. I want you to walk into those rooms with confidence, calm, and assurance. Here’s something important: The more printed articles you have on hand, the stronger your position is. MAGA relatives rarely show up with printouts or primary sources. They show up with aggressive vibes, talking points, and a kind of confidence that isn’t rooted in evidence. If you can say, “Actually, I’ve got the article right here,” you change the power dynamic instantly.

Today I’ll give you:

1. A short list of real Democratic wins and changes happening right now, with sources.
2. The key contradictions and abuses inside Trump’s second term are hard to defend.
3. A Public Citizen-based argument tool about illegal orders and constitutional duty.
4. A printable resource list to take to your next family gathering.

And I’m going to say this clearly before we start:

• You are not obligated to debate anyone.
• Your job is not to convert your uncle at the dinner table.
• Your job is to keep your sanity, protect truth, and if possible, plant seeds of doubt where propaganda has taken root.
