By blood. He’s my dad’s brother. He is still my favorite uncle and a lot of these discussions are all in good fun, but I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t bother me a bit that he’s so brainwashed. He is originally from Louisiana, but moved to Colorado years ago after he graduated med school. My dad always jokes saying, “he’s a monkey. He owns a Tesla, a million dollar house, and still supports the deep state? He sure knows how to live like a Republican.”
The biggest flaw in leftist thinking is they confuse equality with equity. Our society values equality, which means equal opportunity. Equity means equal outcomes, which is impossible to do and will destroy a society in the attempt to achieve it.
Destroy his way of thinking by challenging him to contribute to "equality". If he is so rich, he should share his wealth with an underprivileged person of color to achieve "equality". Unless he does that, he isn't serious about "equality".
Honestly, I think deep down he is a Republican, but in order to fit into his local community he needs to think like them. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is.
I hope he’s not uncle by blood but by marriage
