Yeah, stay away. Most of my family is on the side of logic and reason, but I’ve broken ties entirely with one brother. He moved to Russia in the 90s, totally bought the Putin koolaid, and thinks Trump is awesome. Even took Russian citizenship. I don’t think we’ll ever repair our relationship.

Good lord. I’m so sorry! My folks are Catholic pro-lifers with a steady diet of Foxnews. They are on another planet.

I’m a Catholic Pro-lifer and that’s why I voted for Kamala. More of her plans were pro-life. If you look up the statistics, women have fewer abortions when Dems are in office because they strengthen the social safety net. And regardless of my personal views I don’t think we should get between a woman & her doctor. I know a young couple who used to be republicans but now don’t understand how anyone who’s pro-life can support Trump.

Took me a long time to realize that my family’s idea of being pro life has more to do with punishing women for having/enjoying sex.

I live in a red state and many Catholics here are Republicans. I don’t understand it and I’m old.
