10. My brother is....not

really what you'd call a critical thinker.

He LOVES that orange gasbag and every other right wing tool out there. He was mad when Glenn Beck went to CNN, because then he was "a lib.

He believes each and every thing the RW talking heads say, he honestly believes that I support the killing of babies after birth because I believe that women should have access to reproductive healthcare.

He's also in a union, he hates it, will trash talk the union all day, but boy howdy he likes the better benefits and pay than at his previous job.

We don't speak unless it is about our mother and then it's only text messages. Short ones.

I can ignore politics with DH's family, because they know not to bring it up when we are there, my brother, not so much.
