Those obnoxious relatives

Do conservatives worry about holiday gatherings where they'll be surrounded by obnoxious, insensitive liberal relatives who are going to spend the time complaining about politics with no regard for anyone else present's views or feeling? Do they get ready to go to these family get-togethers by mentally preparing themselves to either argue or hide their feelings to keep the peace, and go home afterwards needing a vacation from their emotionally draining relatives? Do they wish they could avoid them or convince everyone to talk about other topics as a way to respect the diversity of opinions during what should be a happy time, but go and try to be as silent as they can because they still feel an obligation to their families? Do they write blogs and complain to their friends about how hard their family makes enjoying their company and how alienated it makes them feel around the very people who are expected to care about them most?

Or does that stereotype only exist in reverse?
