My in-laws are full on cultists, and when my wife asks her mom what she likes, her reply is, “You just wait and see!” All defiant and smug! I hate having to spend time with them, and they are closeted MAGA in their retirement community of liberal ex-professors, and wealthy professionals. They truly disgust me. And to top it off, they are Jewish, and lost family in the holocaust. Yet they love their fascist dear leader.
