The holidays can be a hotbed for arguments, whether its a squabble in the kitchen or a heated game of monopoly. Never discuss religion, sex, politics, or money might be sage advice when it comes to the festive period, but its more often than not ignored after a few drinks.Some opt to nod, smile, and quickly change the subject, all in the name of keeping the peace. But comedian Dan Donohue, known for his dishwashing monologues on TikTok, offers an alternative strategy when it comes to prickly family members.All right, this is how you deal with family members who have insane opinions that youre gonna see over the holidays, Donohue explains in one video. Now, a lot of people think you combat these people with facts and logic, but that has never worked once. Instead, he suggests fighting fire with an even bigger fire. What you should do is combat their crazy opinion by coming up with an even crazier opinion so they stop talking to you. @notbaddan How To Deal With Family Members #lol See Dan Live in Austin, TX12/6-7 San Diego, CA 12/19 Seattle, WA 12/20-21 in bio original sound Dan Donohue For example, if you say they should get rid of public schools, hit back with, Yeah, and we should get rid of public air while were at it, he says.

If they take you aside after dessert and go hey, you know who controls the weather, you have to go yeah, I do with my mind.'Politics has become increasingly divisive in 2024, to say the least.

I just shift the conversation over to aliens and it works every time, one person wrote.
