Had dinner with my parents last night; both are lifelong liberal Democrats in Texas. As a result, they ended up not staying in touch with a lot of people they grew up with.

They’re in their early 70s and going through wanting to reconnect with people they went to school with. This has disillusioned my father, to say the least.

“All they do all day is sit around, watch Fox News, and talk about what real Christians are supposed to believe. I don’t know if it’s because they’re near death or what. They refuse to believe the world has changed and they want something back or to stop it. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Jesus Christ, I can’t take it.”

“Do you tell them that you’ve got a different way of seeing the world?”

“Yep. Which is why there’s about 3 out of 100 I can stand.”

My dad falls under the heading of grumpy old curmudgeon, but uses his power for good.
