I am fortunate that my nuclear family are all conservatives while my grandparents were racist democrats to the bone. I am very close with a cousin but we have gradually been growing distant as he has embraced Marxism. It is driving a wedge between him and his brother and he does not even realise it. I am hoping someday he wakes up from his delusion but I fear that college brainwashed him so thoroughly and preyed upon aspects of his good nature that he now feels that to be anything but Marxist would be immoral. In the meantime, as long as he is willing to interact with me, I am willing to be there.
