For those who followed my family saga a few months ago, you will be shocked to find out that my parents remain some combination of dumb and racist, despite "apologizing" for voting for Trump when they were forced to have a serious discussion if they wanted our relationship to continue.
Here is my mother responding to my wife, who texted her about the Smithsonian and presumably ICE.
Such wishy-washy bullshit equivocation that almost makes me more angry than if they just admitted they will always be Pro-Trump. I'm continuously finding this relationship more and more difficult to rationalize.
I know some people can separate family and politics, but we are well outside "normal" politics, and they just can't bring themselves to admit any Republican could ever be worse than any Democrat. The Trump-Putin stuff is particularly laughable. I'm fucking ashamed to share DNA with my entire Trumpy-ass family tree. The only bright spot is that my siblings and me apparently inherited the same mutation that has made us politically (really, morally) unlike 95% of our embarrassing family.
