Didn't really work out well. He refuses to not only not discuss politics when we talk but also to not demean my party. So I rarely talk to him. He lives in northern Ala. His brother, my uncle, lives in the Tampa area and is also very right leaning but oddly very religious. I say oddly because he is 100% behind trumpf. I'd have pegged him for a cruz supporter. Now my aunt his wife, I believe is supporting Hillary. She is very blue and can't wait til the election is over so she doesn't have to hear about trumpf so much. My uncle is a rabid faux noise viewer. My dad is more of a limp-balls listener. But my uncle will generally avoid politics at family gatherings.
