Wow... it must be getting bad.... [View all]

The born again evangelical right wingnut contingent of my family has completely shifted focus. They've stopped praying for a Trump win and started prayer that Hillary will get right with the Lord before she takes office.

I kid not.

There is also a conspiracy theory from one particular sister in law's kinfolk that the devil put Trump in as the Republican nominee so he could be sure to throw the race for Hillary. (as in the 2 are in cahoots).
