    My In-laws are Hispanic first Gen illegal border crossers who voted Trump twice. They are all citizens now, but one family member is not a full citizen yet. To this day, they say…

    • He’s anti-abortion
    • We are getting stimulus checks
    • He’s a good business man
    • He’s getting rid of just the bad ones

    That’s it. That’s the only points they talk about. They ignore any evidence to the contrary. Also ignoring the fact that a member of their own family will at some point be a target for deportation.

        My wife is an amazing person. The sisters are great people too. They are very progressive and don’t believe the same at all. It’s the parents that for whatever reason believe the poison of Trump. The ones of the family who are super religious are the ones who align with Trump. Go figure.

          Religion is a poison. It teaches to believe the words of the group leader overs critical thought and reality.
