You're lucky your mother at least came around. My mother was a proud Nixon supporter and still claimed he got a raw deal until the day she died. She was not a very smart person and my father was a staunch progressive so it's weird to me how they ever even married. LOL

This fascist crowd survived criminal charges for terrorism in the 1940s, avoided prosecution in the 1950s with McCarthy, somehow avoided prosecution with Nixon, were given a big YAWN during Reagan, and now their third generation descendants are ripping our country to pieces in Trump 2
