u/MuffinMel77

She's over 60 and has always been a "Republican no matter what" voter.All 3 of her sons grew up listening to her radical takes,which all ended with threatening them that they would go to hell if they voted for a Democrat even once ,as "that would be voting for abortion and gays getting married" Once all of her sons grew into their late teens,they all started voting Democrat as they knew her delusional and brainwashed takes were not worth voting against their own interest for the sake of the country.

She is pretty poor,but lived in a cute small home in a decent area and always has plenty of food,thanks to socialist programs even though she hasn't had a real job in 25 years,to which she gets furious when that is brought up lol

Her brother in law is the same way tbh.He calls everything that he doesn't like as being socialist,even though he has barely worked at all in 30 of years and has taken advantage of unemployment benefits and his wife's long working career by "allowing" her to take care of him and paying most of his child support for him,because he had a bad foot...even though the dude played recreational basketball every other weekend to this day

Very thin at WR,OL,and the secondary looks like it will be bad. Bosa being out now will only make it worse for the pass rush as well.I was very excited for the season last month but it's all crashing down again.I don't see them winning more then 9 games

So as the title says,I have a friend who's grandparents moved to the USA close to 25 years ago, to live near my friend's dad, who decided to stay here after coming to study abroad a few years earlier.

According to my friend and his father,the grandparents were pretty left leaning when they lived in Germany and were socially moderate (my friend and his dad and his American mom are all very liberal and vote Democrat) But his grandparents have only moved further right since around 2018 or after disliking the policies of W.Bush,McCain,Romney AND Trump during his early run.

But there is a far right party in Germany that has emerged as a power in recent years and they have always kept up with German politics even after moving here

They both always talk about this party as if it is a "God Send to Germany" and they wish Trump would stop "saying silly things" so they GOP and the German rar right party could form a great alliance . However...

One of the most prominent leaders in that party is a gay woman and "that makes them sick" They think it would also help out if the party kicked her out so they could really be a force with the Trump administration.

They were both fairly accepting of the LGBT community for years until a few years ago as well until "Gays really started pushing the grooming of kids over the last few years "

They both went from being life long left winged and socially moderate minded folk that both voted for the German left party ,then for Obama in 2008(the first American election they voted in) and in 2012 as well,and voted for Jill Stein in 2016,then shortly turned to MAGA after that .

They both will shut you down when their own voting history to them when they talk about how "the left destroys every nation it touches" and claim how they "are ashamed to have been so dumb to vote that way for most of their lives,but that God showed them the right way to vote and think,thanks to Trump"

They are 83-19 at home since that season started and only 4 of those 19 loses were by more then one possession

One 21 point loss which was to Stanford by a score of 37-16 in 2010

Two 14 point loses in this span ,which was a 31-17 loss to USC in 2011 and a 35-21 loss to Oklahoma in 2013.

One 11 point loss to Cincinnati in 2021 by a score of 24-13

The other 15 loses have all been by a single possession, and the Irish could have currently been truly 98-4 at home,had they not made dumb mistakes late in many of those games.

Edit:

Even in those mediocre 08 and 09 seasons,all home loses were by only a few points each time

2007 was a bad season though,when almost all of their home loses were blowouts . Man....that team was awful huh? lol

She's 70 years old and is standard boomer .Her generation is the best and they can do no wrong and if they do,so what? attitude

There was a video of one of her fellow boomers getting arrested for pulling a gun on a 12 year old boy for "being to loud" and my aunt got angry because that "kid needs to learn manners"

I then pointed out the complete hypocrisy on her part and it went in one ear and out the other (typical)

She then said that old people shouldn't ever be arrested as they are the elders....

Yeah she is that dumb

I then asked her about old serial killers such as the golden state killer who got caught years later in his old age ,and her response shook me to my core

She said that they shouldn't have to get in trouble because they hadn't done it in years and should just be left alone to enjoy their last years and all prisons should release all prisoners over 65 regardless of crimes they committed and just keep the Millienals and gen z criminals

This generation gets more insane every day

I went to a high school that were called the tigers and we had our own version of a tiger logo but I recently found out that they changed it to match the Cincinnati Bengals Tiger head logo in the school colors

I have a few friends and realitives that went to high schools that share logos with teams like the Philadelphia Eagles,Baylor University,Tennessee Titans,Dallas Cowboys,Atlanta Falcons,West Virginia University etc

And I always found it interesting,yet odd

So I have a few boomer Trump loving realitives that have lived in rural PA for decades.They were generally normal and decent people even though they always voted straight R.But they all went off the deep end in typical maga fashion over the last decade

They refuse to believe that any maga politician ever loses fairly and are all claiming that Stacy will win around 98 percent of the vote as long as the polls are "protected"

I have a cousin who married his wife and took her last name and these sane mentioned people freaked out and made up total bullshit about the reasoning as to why he did that.

They claimed that it was weak and a "far left brainwashing technique in schools to teach kids to do that now" Even though my cousin and his wife graduated high school 6 years ago ,are Republicans(not in maga though) and live in a red state

It was explained to them that it isn't a brand new thing for men to do ,and were asked to provide evidence for the claims as to were they got the idea that "schools push that in kids"

They changed the subject after that of course lol

They also think that listening to singers like david Bowie and Prince "turns people gay" because a nephew (cousin of mine) came out as gay awhile ago (he's from equally maga rural Minnesota) and they said that music turned him gay.

They also are now praying for the" good people" in the Netherlands who try to send gay kids to conversion therapy that are now being arrested for doing that to their kids"

This cult needs to be stopped

Or do they usually do most of that in Oregon?

Or do they usually go to Phoenix,Ashland, or Medford Oregon?

That would be a scary af defense

My bf is fairly liberal and left of centre ,but he grew up supporting the GOP as a kid and young teen but thankfully changed his views when he was around 19 in 2014 after realizing how nuts his mom and her own mother were

He grew up in the bay area of CA and his mom moved their in her early 20s in 1988 and has lived in the same house since 1990 in Santa Clara County(5 years before he was born)

She is actually an outspoken Trump supporter,ICE lover,homophobe,xenophobe, misogynistic against her own gender/sex etc. My bf says that whole she has been conservative and strictly GOP voting since she moved there,she was relatively quiet about it and didn't literally hate being in a Democrat dominate region until her mom (who's always lived in rural.minnesota,near St.Paul) started poisoning her mind by pushing propaganda into her head from Glen Beck in 2012-13

His mom slowly became more brainwashed by it and became a massive Trump fan when covid hit

She always complains about not having many friends anymore,even though it's very obvious as to why lol.

This is a list of everything she believes and proudly talks about as if they are common knowledge

Young people can easily by homes today as it's even easier to by them,Thanks to Trump. It was way harder back when I bought my home years ago.They just need to stop listening to the lies from the left(rofl)

The bay area is actually red.Voter fraud has been proven to be rapid here for decades.I don't know really any Dems from here(Wtf)

The LGBT parade was never popular or well known to happen here, by us straight people until Obama forced us to acknowledge it like 15 years ago.I never knew about it until he came around and never knew anyone here that supported their lifestyle.(That's not even from anything that brainwashed her.That is just a huge blatant lie on her part lol)

Every nation with universal healthcare is a 3rd world country and everyone from there don't want it(Lol)

The thought of alien life didn't even cross anyone's mind until the younger generations after mine came around.(No idea where she came up with that b.s or what the issue with that belief is)

Trickle down economics have always worked(Lmao)

George W. Bush never declared an early victory over the middle east in the 2000's,nor did he attack the wrong country(.....What?)

It was illegal to be Christian when Obama was president,and Trump changed that law (...huh)

Fox news and conservative podcasters are legends and will be remembered greatly for the goodness they spread(Holy cult Batman!)

I could go on and on but it would become a book

She has lived in a very liberal area for almost 40 years and has completely changed reality in her mind since Trump came around.

Personally,I really like the 1994 throwbacks,the modern alternate all white version of them are sweet too.Along with the 1996 and 1997 dark red jersey's,metallic gold helmets and white pants and the 2000's white road jersey's with metallic gold pants with the dark red numbers looked sweet (mostly on away night games)

It might be very unpopular,but I just don't care for the scarlet red jersey's with the tan-ish pants and metallic gold helmet.I also never got why they were mainly silver and red from their very early days in the league until the early 60's

I'm a niner fan who has a cousin that is a die hard steeler fan (she is 32 and hashsppy but fading memories of their 2 championship wins in her lifetime and has slowly lost her mind over Steelers football as it's been a decade since they last won a playoff game.

She doesn't think it's going to be a good season for Rodgers in his farewell tour (She thinks he will end up having a scarily similar final season to Favre's) and thinks it will be a 8-9 season as she thinks Mike's style of coaching is outdated

She has become a doomer,it seems

What do you guys honestly think?
