Oct 2012

My uncle was always somewhat socially conservative but nothing like this, and my mom says she thinks he voted Democratic back in the day. He's married to my mom's sister and she's never liked him, but now she can't stand to be around him. He listens to hate radio all. day. long. And he believes every word. And he's started collecting guns, lots and lots of guns, in preparation for the civil war he is convinced is about to break out. It's a mental illness.
