Day two of recovery

Good news? I think I'm done with shopping for a bit

yay!

shopping sucks

It does.

Oh wait, I need to mail my brother a gift certificate or something

man

Yeah. He ran off to another state (Long story) earlier this year so Ihad to get his address.

family drama

how many siblings do you have?

Just two. Feels like 7

ha

How many sibs you got if any?

1. An older brother.

Army guy, suuuuuper conservative

That must lead to fun dinner conversation for you both 🙂

oh yes

My family's mostly gone blue (Myself in cluded) but my mom is a LOT more Gun Control than I am. Though that's not my biggest issue so I mostly just shrug.

Mom is liberal. My dad was tea-party-fox-news right

No wonder you're so fond of purple

is it bad that part of me is incredibly relieved that he died before trump was elected?

Not in a 'if you had to lose him' kind of way

I mean, yes, I absolutely want my father here

but man, I also would have hated hearing him defend that cheeto

Cannot blame you.

I cringe when cousins on facebook mouth off

yes

"After Obama brought us to a banking disaster in... " "Hold up there, I think you're one president OFF."

yeup

And so many of them don't even research "Ha! they're restricting Obamacare in our state" "Hey, why is my government support for my medical trouble going away?" And I'm like facepalming

Far too many of them have medical conditions they need help with for them to pull that #### imo

oh, my stepmom goes on about how obamacare raised her insurance

like...

no.

Obamacare eliminated your BS insurance

She also complained that she "has to pay" for things she won't use

Yeah, like part of my sales tax when I buy a soda might go to an elementary school I won't be attending. God forbid the next generation get some basic education.

Oh who am I kidding, TN doesn't pay for education.... 😉

ha

though our current governor wigs me out. Republican, pro biz, WAS a businessman... and yet he's trying to push forward stuff like 2 free years of college for every tennesean to help the state's brain drain problem.

I'm like... 'don't make me like you'

well

I would like for there to be sane republicans

more that, less Moore/Trump/nutbag

Well, they used to be more so. But some guys who were Republicans in the past would be declared Rinos now and drummed out. Hell, Eisenhower would be a hippie with his 'Military industrial warnings'

Exactly

And for all the praise of Reagan (Who was a BRILLIANT Speaker) now a days by modern Conservatives, the poor guy's policies would be considered too soft and not enough now a days
