Ironically, maybe the people who decide they shouldn't have kids because of the drama they grew up in, might actually make good parents. But then subjecting them to the rest of the family... ewwww.

He wasn't always this bad. He likes to go hunting and is on the 2nd amendment band wagon. We are also living in Minneapolis and though he initially was stepping up to keep the minorities safe by videoing cops stopping some Latinos during the curfew, when they had let about a dozen white carloads pass... son was on our own porch and even stepped into the house with the door open and the cop had a rifle scope aimed at his chest. He stood UP for their rights, but doesn't believe if anyone pulls a gun on a cop that they have any rights at that point.

That tiny bit got him onto the OAnan and TikTok videos telling him everything else was FAKE NEWS so he thinks I am the misguided one.
