Justin, I am not an expert, I'm just a regular person. In the past, I've been tolerant of many people's opinions, even if they were different from my own. I never supported discrimination, and I always thought police violence was wrong. I didn't support extremely restrictive gun laws because I do not and still do not see a relationship between a normal gun owner who uses the weapon for hunting or protection or even collecting and a person who commits a mass shooting or who attacks their family. I still do not support extremely restrictive gun laws: they won't solve the problem. What I am appalled by is people who will learn of the most horrible, awful events where little kids get killed and the first words out of their mouths are what I have written here. I wrote about it again today and the very first comment was from a person like your relative. Maybe worse - who knows? This person accused me of being a sociopath and a criminal. I reported the comment and it is likely to be deleted. Yes, conservatives do accuse progressives or leftists of being "freeloaders." Well the truth is - most people on the left work hard every day and do not have a lot of luxuries. Yet somehow they find the ability to share with others as you have with your relative and I and my family have also done. It's abuse. I hope your relative is just "brainwashed" by the conservative media and in normal daily life - isn't the really bad abuser that some of these people are.
