(261 posts)32. My sister and brother-in-law are Evangelicals
They both have Master's degrees. My sister taught AP Biology and Chemistry, and my brother-in-law teaches gifted education. However, they continue to stand by Trump. When we had a "discussion" about watching only Fox News, they said they watch "Meet the Press" on Sundays, so they hear the other side. I don't watch "Meet the Press on Sundays, but it seemed like only Republicans were on before the election. My sister is very pro-environment and loves nature and animals, but spouts the Republican mantra about less regulations. It is so frustrating knowing that my only sibling and her husband are so well-educated but so brainwashed.
