It is a day centered on gratitude, family, and a shared national story that predates every modern political fight.

For those reasons, the day has a target on it at a time when almost every cultural tradition is being questioned, rewritten, or scheduled for destruction by the left.

For years now, many on the extreme left have treated Thanksgiving as something that needs to be either corrected through disclaimers or completely done away with.

From social media activists to far-left academics, the same arguments repeat every November — that the day celebrates colonialism and the blood of the tribes who wandered North America before Europeans came.
