I'd vote for my mom, and I'd vote for my brother, but I'm way far to the left of both of them. That said, they have decent politics on some things, and great politics on others.

There is no one else in my family I would vote for, save maybe that one cousin who went no contact with the whole family when his dad disowned him for being gay in the 90s. But I don't know his politics. I just respect the fuck out of him.

Jeez that's some hardcore living in the past, even for way back then. Blows my flippin' mind how a parent could do that.

I don't know if any of my kids are gay but shit, who cares? I know if they are they'll be fine with telling me.

Yeah, that whole side of the family is nuts. Like, anti vax, stolen election, dead people coming back in Texas nuts. Honestly, both sides of the family. It's just a few select members who aren't.
