The leftist relatives did not want to bring it up
In our gathering, most of the folks were the type that really didn't pay much attention to politics, but they were the most vocal about Obamacare. And all of it was opposing it.
Two retirees in their eighties facing the unknown, one medical equipment saleslady, one nurse working hospice, two previously unknown TEA Party sympathizers, one teacher who has caught onto Common Core, three from Vermont who we always thought were liberal but readily admitted that they were always conservative, they just never talked about politics.
We talked for two hours, everyone expressing their opposition to everything Obama. Then someone mentioned pie and coffee and we indulged, but halfway through pie it started all up again.
I can only imagine that other families experienced something similar.
