Today attempts by lefty organizations to help ruin Thanksgiving dinners around the nation have come from the likes of the ACLU, a pro-abortion group and MoveOn.
But former President Obama has arrived to try and calm things down a little, which a call to use a more scientific approach:
Before arguing with friends or family around the Thanksgiving table, take a look at the science behind arguing better. And it'll never hurt to try this: "Listen to people, get them to think about their own experience, and highlight your common humanity." https://t.co/AZC9kpqoqx

At least Obama didn’t say he wanted his followers to “argue and get in their face” on Thanksgiving:
