Here are a few comebacks for your next family gathering.

As BuzzFeed's politics lead, my job is to do the doomscrolling for you.

Note: Some responses have been lightly edited for clarity. 

"I usually pay all the bills and rent and for most other things, and she buys whatever and uses her income for herself and our two teens and has built up a nice savings. I'M NOT A MONSTER. 

She has never worried about the price of an item; she bought with freedom and on a whim, and we had an abundance of food, the majority of the time. Lately, the cupboards are becoming more sparse. I’m getting Uber Eats charges, even when I’m not eating, and the majority of her savings is gone. I haven’t heard anything about a tariff ever since. Stupid way to learn how to budget. Effective but stupid. Looks like I took an ‘L’ and a ‘W’…I say worth it."

"I said, 'I warned everyone that ICE agents are patrolling near here. And since our workforce is 85% undocumented immigrants, they shouldn’t risk being caught by coming into work.' 

He flipped out and said, 'SO NOW I HAVE TO BUST MY ASS BECAUSE OF YOU?!' I said, 'And what’s gonna happen if they get deported due to your Cheeto in charge asshole? You’ll have to bust your ass EVERY SINGLE DAY!' 

He hasn’t said a damn thing about it since!'

"A woman protesting next to me shouted back, 'Jesus is my king!' Checkmate."
