(7,411 posts)I have family that are basically FOR anyone who claims they hate Democrats ever since Bill Clinton. Why? Because Rushbo told them to. Otherwise fairly intelligent people with kind hearts, who exhibit in real life all the values Democrats generally hold dear.... community, service, kindness, yada yada..... and yet will rail against anyone who dares to declare for the Democratic Party.
My youngest sibling is 64 years old. I'm the oldest. We've had 64 glorious years together of showing up for each other or banding together for someone we know that is in need. I'm not inclined to throw all that away because of one part of them that is sheer stupid.
They put up with my stupid. I know I have it and am equally as blind to it. The least I can do is love them through theirs.
Now that said, I'm not one to let them get away with BS. When they utter the lies they hear I am unafraid to push back a bit. 99% of the time we end up with, well OK that factoid is wrong that Rushbo claims but said family is still convinced there is no good use for Democrats....period.
Goofy is as goofy does.
