This isn't "pro-liberal" or "pro-Democrat" - it's zero tolerance for stupid. Not even gonna try. Maybe it's just a Midwest thing, but EVERY Republican we know thinks Obama "ruined this country" or "was the worst President in history" or "started racism." It's just racism, period. There is ZERO logical evidence supporting those claims.
We visited a former coworker of mine, K, and their dog's stuffed monkey toy is named "Obama" and they laugh "hahaha." K's husband (a retired Chicago cop) had a heart attack and the EMS arrived and the EMS workers were all black; K said she had to run to remove the framed photo of Obama with Hitler, "hahaha" - meanwhile, those trained porch monkeys saved her husband's life.
And her Facebook page is filled with posts about the Pope, Jesus, the Catholic Church, being Irish, and share this if you love your grandchildren shit.
It's hard, because this woman has been like family for nearly 30 years. But it's too hard to overlook and I'm not gonna even try to change her views or tell her otherwise; useless. So I'm ghosting her.
