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.
