A bit tangential to topic but I got to know someone on my wife's side of the family. Cool socialist dude. We saw eye-to-eye on like 90% of things. Was refreshing.
He fell for the uncommitted wedge-driving bullshit and sat out the election. Drank the Russian vodka. This despite what's at stake for his nieces, his cousin and women's rights. This despite my wife's plea to him to go vote.
That's the last time I brought up politics or really care to speak to him. I really have no patience for willful ignorance anymore. People like this to me frustrate me so much more than red hats themselves.
See how Trump supports Palestinians now. And, curiously, boy those outcries sure did suddenly drop off over that post-election, huh. Much pyrrhic victory.
