Politics, Religion and Family

My brother is visiting us, well our mother, this weekend. We are a large family. Six kids. My parents were old-school Democrats but Catholic so they had that whole anti-abortion thing going for them. Never stopped them from voting Democrat their entire lives. My four sisters and I are all lefties...some more radical than others. My brother is the lone right-wing MAGA uber-Christian in the family. Sent me a pic of him and his wife toasting the convicted felon on the TV on Inauguration Day. Threw up in my mouth a little at that, but I just said "Boo!" and moved on. 

We are all getting together on Saturday with Mom and we will all dance around the subject of politics and how much our country is a heaping pile of trash these days. He Who Shall Not Be Named....well, he will not be named. At least by any of us. Sometimes he can't help himself. And if he does...boy howdy do I have a whole speech prepared in my head about the hypocrisy of Christians who support mass deportations, concentration camps, racism, corruption, fraud, convicted felons, insurrection and a host of other evils. Pro-Life, but only for fetuses. Fuck everyone after they are born, amirite?

Wish me luck? I guess?
