My father's family had money; my mother's father followed the oil wells from Pennsylvania to Oklahoma to the San Joaquin Valley in California.

My mother's brother became a dedicated Democrat. She had a photo of Ronnie Reagan on her kitchen wall. After I left home it would almost make me vomit to have go back and see that.

Neither one of my parents would tolerate--let alone--wear a t-shirt with that kind of language. But they were both racists.

I really do think that's what Trumpism is all about: white supremacy.
