I met my son’s girlfriend’s family for the first time last night. It was a huge birthday celebration and get together. Toward the end, I was enjoying talking to his girlfriend’s grandparents who are only a few years older than me. Grandma began steering our nice conversation toward politics and grandpa uttered “uh oh.” I was cagey and remained neutral until Grandma said “I’m a life-long Republican.”
Whew! What a relief that was. Then we had a nice discussion about what’s really on our minds. Turns out Grandpa is a Democrat, but he seems dismayed that the party has run off the rails with the crop of communists running for POTUS. Grandma and Grandpa have learned how to not discuss politics much each other.
With candidates like Biden Warren Bernie etc. they should be on the defensive.
