I come from an entire family of solid conservatives. I married a man from a long line of solid democrats. I converted my husband long ago to my way of thinking. We rarely agree with his family, but political debates are normally low key. My father-n-law is about the only one who can get a little bent out of shape during a debate, but nothing to severe.
Before my father-n-law was diagnosed with Parkisons, my sister–n-law brought him and my mother-n-law for a visit. We hadn’t seen them for about 6 months and I was shocked by his condition that no one else seemed to notice, probably because it came on so gradually. He was literally asleep sitting upright at the kitchen table. To wake him up I said something about “those democrats”, his eyes popped open and he began to bluster. I still laugh over this. My in-laws are great people even though we disagree politically.
