I find this both amusing and disturbing.

Seriously, I'll bet my father is losing sleep over this. Aside from his and my mom's frenzied need to save all unborn babies, gun control is number two on dear old dad's issues on which to vote. It doesn't matter that, in their class and demographic, the GOP has never, ever done much at all for them in practical terms as long as abortion be made illegal again and people are allowed to have their semi-automatic weapons.

This is going to sound so ignorant, but they gave birth to you how? I mean, you don't share those beliefs.

Oh, you get scolded yet for your voting? Yes, I am making a huge assumption here.

Well, for the first 17 years or so of my life I was so insulated all I knew was their way, and so I was a good little robot. Not six months out of the house, and I began to see how closed-off I'd been.

I haven't talked to my parents since the election, but, yeah, I assume doom and gloom from their end. Which is, I suppose, exactly how I'd be if the opposite outcome had been gained. ;)
