I just got back from enemy territory. Went to my aunt's house; she married a pretty right-wing guy (nice person otherwise, to be honest).. his whole family is as right wing as he is... I was the only one from 'my' side. Had to sit there quietly while they all ranted about guns and scary autistic people and obamercare.
