Her husband was brainwashed after 9-11 to hate The Democratic party and told us while visiting them on Super Bowl Sunday that my husband and I were communists because we did not support mf45. We always make a point to not bring up politics but this time for the first time he went after us with vengeance it was so shocking it made me cry. We are visiting from SF to Phoenix where my husband’s family lives. He thinks we are idiots . The dude is a major loser who struggles to keep jobs. He recently got a job as a postman and in a union job with protections at age 59. While we both work, members of unions, own a home in SF, save money and can afford to go on trips when we get time off. Yeah we’re losers.
