One of the last things Mom did was to proudly vote for Hillary before she died. Politics was discussed often as I was growing up, and my brother and I are very happy that we were raised with democratic values. Both parents would be disgusted with tRump and the mess he has made of our country, but our eldest brother, who has passed, was a Republican and would definitely be a rabid MAGA. I guess nothing sunk in with him.
