Venom Snake posted:My mothers side have been leftists since they immigrated here in the early 1800's and settled in and around colorado. Love guns (still in favor of gun control weirdly), hunting, and government run programs. My fathers side of the family have been democrats going back to the literal founding of the party and all the Your dad's family is basically my extended family except they only jumped ship in 2008 because being coal miners they valued unions more than racism. Obama winning the primary broke their brains and most went full tea party. They all worshipped the Clintons but 8 years of Fox News and Hilary saying the mines aren't coming back convinced them to vote for Trump instead of sitting out the election last year. The ones who still bring up politics alternate between talking about how they got conned and telling me I don't need to worry about the boomers retiring by the time I finish grad school, because Trump's going to kick all the foreigners out and free up all sorts of jobs. My parents are also Clinton worshippers and didn't vote in 08 but came to their senses after about 6 months. Took my mom a long time to admit people felt Palin was unqualified because she was stupid and not because she was a woman though.

Not political, but related - I returned home to discover my oxy addicted brother had pawned most of my PS4 games for drug money and tried to steal my PS3 but our parents pulled into the drive way before he could get it unhooked. That fucker pawned Resident Evil 7 and now I can't play next month's DLC when I get home for Xmas.
