[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did so many people go from OP saying the parents were conservative in some areas to assuming they’re crazy MAGA. Surely people know many people who may have been raised in a conservative home but aren’t remotely MAGA.

Also, why do so many people seem ok with the DD acting over the top and outrageous. Whether the parents share the same political beliefs or not, shouldn’t people exercise some sort of good manners upon meeting anyone for the first time? No one is saying the daughter shouldn’t feel comfortable answering or asking questions honestly. But she sounds kind of rude. [/quote]

I don't know anyone that would still describe themselves as "conservative" that isn't MAGA. At least, not without immediately and explicitly distancing themselves from MAGA when using the "conservative" term.[/quote]

OP never said MAGA. She said the parents were conservative. How do you know they wouldn’t say exactly that, that they are conservative and explicitly not MAGA.

But what does that have to do with the DD being polite? You can be polite and still stand your ground should political issues come up. But also, what group discusses politics in their first meeting. [/quote]

In Trump's time, no one is going to use the "conservative" word unless they mean MAGA. Don't be so naive.

Regardless, it doesn't even matter. This is the chance for the daughter to find out if they're MAGA. If they're not, great. Hopefully they still want women to be able to vote and not force them into back-alley birth control. But that would be good to find out, too.[/quote]
