Alternatively, you could take the attitude that the discussions could reduce how much you need to spend on Christmas presents.....
Picture of a family at a dinning table with a Thanksgiving meal being served. With the following text. "I just saved a ton of money on Christmas gifts discussing politics during Thanksgiving Dinner." (Someecards logo in the lower corner.)

Have I gone mad? I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret.... All the best people are.

I'm reminded of this bit from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Population: None. Although you might see people from time to time, they are most likely products of your imagination. Simple mathematics tells us that the population of the Universe must be zero. Why? Well given that the volume of the universe is infinite there must be an infinite number of worlds. But not all of them are populated; therefore only a finite number are. Any finite number divided by infinity is zero, therefore the average population of the Universe is zero, and so the total population must be zero.

Here's mine.
Scene from Lower Decks. A class of students kneeling at high tech desks, looking at a teacher on front of a large golden statue of Miles O'Brien, the Most Important Person in Starfleet History, at a transporter console.

Oh oh, yea, like this
Julian Bashir and Miles O'Brien are sitting in Quarks after one of their holosuite adventures. They are wearing WW2 RAF pilot gear and each has a glass of something to drink in his hand.

Found in "Kirk's old bar" on Starbase 25 during an episode of Lower Decks. Does that make Spirk canon?
Words carved in the surface of a wooden bar, "Kirk + Spock".

By the code, that is the ONLY way to dispose of a flag.
The United States Flag Code requires badly damaged flags, which are deemed “no longer suitable for display” to be destroyed by burning.

This piece in his hand really looks like this to me. (Another pic more close up)
Clise up of Frisee, or Curled Endive. A leafy vegetable in shades of green.

Quote with your first anime. (Didn't know it when I watched this on our Black and White TV).
The cover of the dvd of anime series Kimba the White Lion, with a picture of an animated white lion (Kimba) in a grassy area with jungle and mountains in the background.

On its birthday, (belated) share one image from your favorite TNG episode.
A group of Klingons stand in a circle facing out with their arms crossed, while Captain Picard and Worf stand in the center. This is the ritual of discommendation, where a Klingon, Worf, in this case, is cast out for an act of great dishonor. From the episode "Sins of the Father".

One of his stickers next to yours. I think they go well together.
Picture of two stickers. First is a picture of TOS Uhura with the words "Compassion is Rebellion". Second is a picture of Kira holding up a Bajoran phaser with the words, "This Machine Kills Fascists."

I'm fond of the mustache twirling villain line.
Lieutenant Worf: [referring to Admiral Satie] I believed her. I, I helped her. I did not see what she was. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Mister Worf, villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged. Lieutenant Worf: I think... after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Maybe. But she, or someone like her, will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mister Worf - that is the price we have to continually pay.

Protect trans people
The phrase "You will have to go through me" in colors that make the trans pride flag.

Star Trek TNG meme. Data says, "Sir, and unknown vessel shipped as the number Pi is hailing us. Picard says, This is the Captain of the USS Enterprise. Identify yourself." The ship replies, AS YOU WISH. 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197..." 35 years later, "...4556265368979.." while Picard thinks, "I had to ask..."

My last Red Roof Inn visit had a room whose door had clearly been kicked in recently. The flip lever internal lock was missing the door half, and the deadbolt was misaligned to the plate on the frame, so it could not be engaged. The rest of the room wasn't much better.
Picture of the inside of a hotel room door. There is light coming through the edges, and the door half of the "chain" is missing. (Worst room ever)

Soon.
Closeup of the mid section of a man in an orange jumpsuit, holding to odd goam shapes, one in each hand. He is crushing the on in his right hand. (From Star Trek TOS ep By Any Other Name.)

It doesn't really fit me, but it's more of a philosophy that the "i before e" meme, which was 2nd to last. So that's good, I guess.
Image with the following text: Grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change. The courage to change direction when I see them coming. And the history not try to smack some sense into them when I can't avoid them.

Heir to the Empire. I'm not exactly sure, but it was definitely before Phantom Menace, so probably in the mid 90's.
Picture of me, a mid 50's white cis male, wearing a T-shirt with the cover of the book Heir to Empire.
