I often wonder the same thing. My dad (and mom) were staunch democrats. That said, they grew up in a different era (my dad was born in 1907) and when I was in college I was friends with a black girl and my dad was none too happy. I couldn’t really tell if it was that she was black or that she lived in a pretty bad part of Chicago, but he was really, really unhappy when we would hang out.

I have wondered about this several times over the years. Would he have been brainwashed by Fox News? How would he have taken to an Obama or H. Clinton presidency? Honestly, I am glad I never had to find out.

I feel the same way as my fellow Pennsylvanians do about this. It broke my heart when I read this article in the New York Times about my home town of Ambridge PA getting seduced by that fucking BunKKKo Artist. Now the home town I grew up in is hard core Gay Hating, Anti-abortion hotbed of brainwashed Rush Limbaugh addicts…
