My daughter used to be pretty liberal but the longer she is married to her husband the more right leaning she is becoming. My son in law won't admit he voted for Trump but defends him every chance he gets. The more I talk to him the less I like him. My daughter and I argued about the "concentration camps" yesterday. I don't like what is happening to her and I'm thinking of leaving it to the grandkids. I also had her as executor and I'm changing that too.
