I think my mother-in-law has a new religion - conservatism.
My mother-in-law is a sweet woman. She is a retired teacher with a master's degree. She has always been very involved in her church, and still is. In the last 10 years, my father-in-law passed away and she retired. She now watches Fox News almost non-stop. Well, except for when we are there as we ask her to turn it off.
She lives out of town and came to stay with us for a few days so she could watch my son graduate from high school.
Even though she is a devout Christian, she has a "Women for Trump" sticker on her car. I asked her if she wanted me to scrape it off, and she said no. She didn't want anyone to think that she is a Hillary supporter. Yeah, because those are the only two options. I can't reconcile a christian woman supporting Trump.
I did my best to avoid being around her, but even still I heard her mention "liberals" quite a few times - always as a pejorative term.
My wife was talking about her job for the state of Florida as a school nurse. She was saying that they have given the school nurses more responsibilities, requiring them to do more - but no increase in pay. My mother-in-law said that it was the liberals fault because they want big government. I couldn't hold my tongue and asked her if she really thought that liberals were the only ones who tried to get more from their employees.
My kids and I don't want to be around her because just about every conversation turns to some opportunity for her to blast liberals and democrats. It used to be that she used every opportunity to praise her god, but now she uses it to express her disdain for liberals.
