16. This old Hippie ain't gonna help em.

His wife ain't gonna help either. Not the wifes kids, not the grandkids, maybe the great grandkids but I wouldn't put money on it. Not the wifes brother or his kids and grandkids, not her 90 yo mother. Not any of our friends.

This is not to say we don't have a few ignorant teabags in the family but they are in Oklahoma, Louisiana and Fresno and I think there is something in the water but they are vastly outnumbered.
