Just because you have a crazy father-in-law doesn't mean that all, or even most Republicans think that way. If you believe it, then you live in a bubble. Also, if you are so right, and your point of view is so correct, I'm curious why you haven't been able to convince your father-in-law and show him the error of his ways. Actually, I'm not curious--it's probably because you think everyone else in the other party is wrong and has nothing constructive to add, which causes other people to not listen to you. This otherism is tiring.
