My grandparents aren’t even originally from the US, but they seem to have this very reductive “Democrat or Republican” false binary stapled in their mind. For this reason, back when I actually did talk to them, my grandparents would assume that I approve of every single policy Biden and Obama put in place because they thought that my opposition to the Republican party meant that I was staunchly in favor of Democrats.
assume that I approve of every single policy Biden and Obama put in place
The reactionaries in my family assume because I am vehemently opposed to the Republican party, I must be some kind of SJW libslur soyboy. Their brains short circuited when I said I was against gun control and actually knew things about guns. They got really pissed when I said “Guns are tools, not toys.”
They were so flabbergasted someone is against lowering taxes to cut education funding, then turn around and call Joe Biden a white supremacist. My “Mao did nothing wrong” jokes don’t land with this crowd, either.
