Well, Vance was right about one thing. And I suspect most of Lemmy agrees, since no one posted about it yesterday, and we’re not supposed to agree with anything fascists say.
He said no one really likes turkey, no one cares about cooking turkey except on Thanksgiving because it’s expected of them. For poultry, chicken is superior.
Couldn’t agree more. I think it’s high time we stop doing things simply because they’re expected, if we don’t actually like them.
My family doesn’t do a whole turkey. We do a turkey breast, but we also do ham and barbecue. People have a choice. The best of the turkey, plus pork. We even had pot roast yesterday, so beef as well.

I saw that clip... Its normal current-level unhinged. In times past, it would have been a black mark and his colleages would use it to mock him for ages, and it would cost him elections... But in [current year] its Tuesday...
I’m disagreeing because people eat Turkey all of the time. Most people don’t do a whole bird bc it’s too much. But pound for pound, that’s a lot of protein for the price so it’s better than beef, chicken, etc.
Also, someone has to make a whole Turkey so people can put that shit on sandwiches every day.
Also, I just think your disrespect for dark meat is unforgivable.
Bruh why are you acting like anyone is forcing you to eat anything for Thanksgiving? Eat whatever you want, and we will eat whatever we want, no matter what you and your bud JD think about it.
Um, lots of people like turkey and eat it all the time. You don't have to cook an entire turkey just like you don't have to cook a whole cow if you like beef. You can buy small amounts at the store or deli. The reason so many people cook a whole turkey at Thanksgiving is because they are feeding a large group of people. ... I can't believe I'm actually sitting here typing an explanation of this.
i refuse to accept you don't have to BBQ the whole cow
We eat turkey every week. But okay…
No you're both wrong about that
Turkey vs. chicken? Kinda mid, really.
My family is vegetarian, so we definitely know about what "expectations" are when it comes to something like Thanksgiving, LOL.
When it comes to "JD" "Vance"'s observation about turkey vs. chicken (turkey is dry AF and most people tend not to really go for it all that often?), I guess I've heard wags saying that nearly all my life, so kudos for his bravery on that.
I'd be more impressed if I were to see a prominent Republican go vegan or vegetarian and do it openly. I suspect most of them are so locked up in their delusional protein and/or masculinity myths that they'd never do it. They are too afraid of what other men might think of them, or what their base would think of them.
