My son's father-in-law, a rabid trump supporter

Living in Florida, caught Covid19. At least everyone thinks so, including him. He had all the symptoms, was very sick for three weeks. He's still not even close to being back to normal. He refused to get tested, he refused to seek medical attention.
Why? Because he said he didn't want to be added to the statistics that would make trump and DeSantis look bad.
That is a special breed of stupid.

The White House is denying it. They're implying it was something else.

It appears that Miller's extended family are pretty decent people. Some screw went loose in Stevies brain, and shorted out his humanity.

My MiL was a very strong woman, a liberated woman and my wife is absolutely astounded with mom's love of a woman hating Trump.

We discuss no politics around her. I think the biggest reason she likes him is she hated Barack Obama.

I hold him personally responsible for all the atrocities trump has done. If she doesn’t like Obama I would have to assume it was the color of his skin.

Good luck!

and her late husband enlisted in the Army as a PFC and retired a Major with Silver and Bronze Stars from WWll and Korea. A little hard to snipe him because he parachuted into Normandy and Market Garden carrying his good luck charm a Confederate battle flag. I hate the Dixie Rag and I come from the South. But there was no point upsetting that good old man.

Sometimes these things are more complicated than we'd like.

Meanwhile my wife who spent 30 years with CIA including several years in Cameroon, Mauritania and Senegal as well as years in Thailand, Taiwan, and France hates Parisians.

Trump is as anti-American as they come.

He is the wholly owned property of Putin, and as for the military, she endorses a man who couldn't care less if Putin pays people to shoot soldiers.

OK?

She does NOT love this nation by definition.

They're more than capable of doing that all on their own. And, should the infection take a turn for the worse (god forbid), the coroner will be the one turning him into a statistic.

They are different people than I thought they were. I would not hang out or have a meal with Trump and I will not do the same for someone who shares those values.
