who does handyman and garden stuff for us. He is married to a Q-Anon devotee, and he voted for Trump against Biden. We have (sort of) converted (i.e. saved) him, at least partially. He did not vote for Kamala, *but* he didn't vote for Trump, either. Hang in there; friendly conversations about how much food costs now is gradually breaking into his "they're all alike" mentality. And I'm waiting for next year, when he's going to have even more trouble paying for his Obamacare.
They can be helped, some of them, gently and one at a time. It's going to take a while--Steve made some crack about our son's wife being a "blackie" and that got shut down real fast ("we don't talk like that around here, and if you want to work for us, you'll stop with that racist shit right now"
. He is now so contrite that he keeps bringing presents for our little mixed-race grandson.
It doesn't hurt that he sort of thinks of us as his mom and dad.
