Of course not a physical fight because we all know libs would get their asses kicked 99% of the time.

The online opinion blog specializing in unpopular opinions, Slate, has some advice for their readers this holiday season: screw tranquility, harmony, and thankfulness. Fight!
In what is apparently a companion piece to aWhite House campaign in which they ask supporters to bombard their families this holiday season with propagandist items about the wonders of the Affordable Care Act, Slate’s John Cook has some advice for their readers ahead of this holiday season about how to start and win political arguments.
The first is to locate and isolate an unsuspecting relative, preferably one outside the immediate family, who just wants to spend some time with you (Why? No idea. You’re apparently quite a scold).
Then get them going with an intentionally provocative but unsupported statement designed to incite a hostile response. Cook suggests, “I’m thankful for all that free stuff Obama gave me.” Then pivot to a more defensible position from which to rain argumentative assertions down upon your family members like so much artillery.
“What should we fight about?” Cook asks. “Israel,” he answers. “You should fight about Israel. Particularly if you are Jewish or are married to a Jew or are the child of an Evangelical Christian.” He also advises all parties to imbibe heavily during this process.
Cook adds that once you can coax a racist remark out of one of your family members (as he relates a story about how he once did, to great effect), you can declare victory and head to the couch to digest both dinner and triumph.
