Family or politics?

Only if I can make a horrified or “what an idiot” face at the shirt in the photo.

Well, actually, that’s only if the candidate is really bad, like most establishment US politicians. If it were just a civilized disagreement, then I don’t mind, though I might make a joke about why they’re doing that. That is, I’m only so opposed because I’m so outraged at the retarded and/or corporate pawn political offerings we’ve had rammed down our throats as the world burns, particularly in recent years. It’s not about simple preference or moderate disagreement.

I would probably allow the photo for the simple reason that I’m a person of no fame or notoriety. Besides, if the infividual on the shirt is particularly unsavory, the photo of my fool of a relative with the miscreant’s mug on his chest will probably come in handy to shame him appropriately at next year’s dinner.

Only if you do the bunny ears.

I’m still slightly shocked that they wore a political shirt to a family reunion.

I’m very much of the don’t talk about religion/don’t talk about politics with family/colleagues school.

Don’t ask. Don’t tell. And don’t ask to take a picture with me if we haven’t talked all day (and you haven’t been in touch with me for about 3.5 years).

If the cousin is a parent, bring in his kid and have the kid stand in front of the shirt. Or gather a group and make the cousin stand behind everybody.

@reijinni , bunny ears would probably have been a good idea. Instead, there is an album (or more) of photos with people making fabulously strange are-you-kidding-me faces. I think at least one person was caught rolling their eyes.

@Jeruba , that’s a great idea… especially as his children are bigger than he is. :) I’m saving that idea… maybe along the lines of one of those let’s-replicate-this-picture-from-30-years-ago photos.

I’d probably just pose for the photo and be a good sport about things but knowing myself the way I do, the odds are I would crack a joke to those around me and say ” Disclaimer, just because I posed for a photo with a Trump supporter in no way means I condone such buffoonery.” lol I find humor is the best medicine, especially when dealing with obnoxious types.

I solve this problem by not attending family reunions.

Unless the t shirt has Šešelj’s face on it, I don’t really mind (although I probably would find it a bit lame that you are making a billboard of yourself). If it does, stay at least five meters away from me. I don’t know you. You are not a cousin of mine.

* Vojislav Šešelj is a right wing politician in Serbia. He is the only politician I hate with passion. Š is read as “sh”.

Sure.

I don’t really have a problem with it, sure it doesn’t reflect my views just some lame brain relative.

That or a rival football team shirt would not bother me as much as some fucking lame slogan clad shirt like yolo or i’m with stoopid My face would read get the fuck away from me twat

Darn.

I was thinking of picking up one of those I’m with stoopid shirts to keep in the car for situations like this.

@ucme pretty much covered half of the facial expressions in the album

Anyone who thinks my proximity to a Trump shirt makes me a Trump supporter can go pound sand. I’m not going to cut people out of my life over their politics.

I wouldn’t care, for the most part. It’s just a shirt after all. But then again I’m mostly surrounded by people indifferent to politics. It might be another story if they cared enough.

If it was a Trump shirt, I would insist on quid pro quo by holding up a piece of paper that said “This is Satire” in magic marker. That’s inoffensive enough and gets the point across.

Of course.
