Best family Thaksgiving story ever. [View all]

I could make you guys waste your time by reading a lot of backstory here. Let's cut to the chase.

My sisters and I are now the "older generatiton". The aunts, uncles, and grandparents. I'm the family "lefty". First get together in a couple of years for obvious reasons. The last time was the Kavanaugh hearings. My sisters all have 2 brain cells that rub together, so they're still in the "can form rational thoughts" Republican camp, but still...

So I walk out to the living room in my normal morning pre-coffee fog, and my straight as an arrow, Republican even through Nixon, voted for Trump, brother-in-law has (wait for it) MSNBC on. I tell him I'm surprised, but proud of him, and he says, "They're smart and tell the truth." And then later in the day, we went to a CBD dispensary and got him some stuff for his chronic pain.

The scales are falling, friends. We really need to have confidence and hang tight.
