(2,960 posts)the bigger question is why so many smart, accomplished, awesome women would go near such POS men to start with. She's 89, so I know male options are limited, but I'd MUCH rather spend my time with likeminded women friends and likeminded family members. And I don't think they are having sex...so what's the point? Just male companionship? It's not like he's smart, funny, kind or a sparkling conversationalist...which you can already guess, given his cult membership, but which I can also emphatically confirm from painful experience! I mean, her deceased husband (my husband's stepfather) was also a rightwing asshole, so I guess it's what she knows. Once he passed, it was a relief not to have to keep our mouths shut at family gatherings in order to placate him, and as the candidate whose election we SHOULD be celebrating reminded us, "We are NOT going back!" (We will no longer shut up just to placate THEM.) I cut off my own MAGA sibling in 2017 when Trump's inauguration (which she attended with my mother!) emboldened her to finally reveal what a POS she actually is.
