We're of course back from visiting my parents and Renee's parents. Unfortunately I wasn't wrong about mine. We had a fairly nice visit even with Mom getting a little into the whole 'now we can say Merry Christmas' thing at breakfast. I gently explained that for some it's Chanukah and for others it might be something else, that saying Happy Holidays doesn't have to be a generic cop-out like they think it is. Instead it's admitting we don't know what a person celebrates just on sight. 'But for us it's CHRISTMASSS' she said. Okay, fine. Whatever. It's a combination of their decreasing lack of empathy for others not of their tribe as they get older, and their certainty there's been this concerted war on Christmas because of Obama and his PC crowd.

So it didn't ruin our cinnamon roll breakfast. We were fine. Everyone just sort of backed off and left it alone.

But it came down to the last 20 minutes of our visit before we were loading up to head on over to Renee's parents.

Mom: Well, come January 20, we'll have a new president.

Me: Yes.

Mom: If you're against Trump, we don't want to hear about it. All of our friends and relatives are all for Trump. And after Trump is in for his term, Pence will make a good president too. E***** said she used to have him as governor and that he's a good man. We're looking forward to America being great again. Obamacare (blah blah) Supreme Court (blah..)

Me to Renee: So I'm ready to go on over to your parents. Are you about ready?

So yeah, our visit to their house was pretty much ruined at that point. Did you catch all of that? They don't want us to even talk about him if we're against him (which they know we are) but they get to talk all they want about him, because it's their house I guess. And "all" of their friends and relatives are for Trump, so how do you think that made me and Renee feel? They constantly tell the two of us, we're the only family they have, yet they do something like this.

If it wasn't for them being my parents, I'd never visit them again. But we are truly all that they have, because everyone else has either moved away or been pushed away by them.

And the coup de gras? Dad unplugged their internet because they said it's too expensive. So now they're completely isolated from any potential news worth viewing which leaves only FoxNews.

So you can imagine how happy of a camper I am. I'm part of the resistance as I know many of you are too. We're all in for a bumpy ride, but don't lose hope. Rest assured there are millions of us. We are not in the minority by any means.
