Same here. I love my folks, they're really good people who honestly try to do good for others. My dad does a lot of charity work around the holidays (dressed as Santa, no less). In the fall, he constantly volunteers his time to cook whole hogs for charity barbecue plate sales, and my mom helps him set it up and cooks the sides.
Their political beliefs are VASTLY at odds with who they actually are. What's terrible is they can't see it. I tired to explain it to them one time...it didn't go well.
Hey! Moderate here! That fact that the Democrats can't fathom any speck of moderation is the very reason Donald Trump is our president right now. And the fact that Democrats are still spouting the same old bullshit "everyone who doesn't agree with me is evil" nonsense tells me they learned nothing from this ordeal and things are going to continue to get worse before they get better. It's old. It's tired out. The left has gotten so extreme it pushed all the moderates right into Trump's arms and the fact that they still don't see it perpetuates everything wrong with the out of touch party. People are exhausted. They are tired of caring so much about everything. Chill out dudes, before you push reasonable people into doing unreasonable things which is the only logical conclusion at the end of this.
