Sure, but I don't have a crazy racist uncle. Wondering what circles you guys run in?

I’m from Alabama. Crazy racist uncles are a dime a dozen.

Fear of job loss to immigrants.  Fear of white people losing influence.  Fear of Christianity being targeted by government.

These are all things I've quite literally heard from Trump supporters when I go home.

Fear is central to Trumpism. There’s a reason phrases like “economic anxiety” are bandied about as a smokescreen.

In fact, picture Early Cuyler from squidbillies and you basically have every uncle in Alabama ever.

A truer statement has never been said on this forum.

It's definitely true.  The reason I bite my tongue is because it's often within my family (usually extended family).  Unfortunately you can't choose that part of your life.  I don't live around them and rarely see them, so for me, the headache isn't worth my time.  Most of them who hold this view are older and set in their ways.  It would be like arguing with a brick wall and quite frankly, I would rather focus my energy on discussing important issues with younger folks who still have time to change.

I hear what you are saying. I simply could not tolerate the nonsense. I'd have no problem letting them know they are wrong and their behavior unacceptable.

s***, California is a big state with a few areas not much different from Alabama. You’ll find a place to fit in.

Great. I won't have to apologize for being born on the wrong side of the pond.

Most folks out there won’t mind when you introduce your wife and sister...

...until they realize there’s only one girl standing there.

They're actually into that. Much more accepting.

Your lack of introspection at a time like this is amazing. Simply amazing.

Here’s a similar act of failed introspection.

Good Lord look at that ratio.

Sad truth is he will be provided security to and from his many court visits............a shield of early 20's law enforcement making around 30,000 per year.
