We get together once a month and she’s never been any different on any subject than she was when I was a kid

On Mother’s Day for example she casually brought up the E Jean Carroll verdict and how laughable it is that anyone can take Trump seriously after that, but that she’s also got a lot of first hand experience that “policy” trumps a lot of personal flaws. They’ve been together since, if I remember right, 2015, and when my dad went full all lives matter during 2020 she was first in line to support my sister and I losing touch with him.

I think she’s just comfortable with him. He’s a pretty simple, boring guy with a nice house and strong retirement nest egg. My dad was complicated and never found an opportunity he couldn’t screw up. It’s sort of a Connor/Willa situation, with less money and less baggage, but it’s convenient. Very old school in that way.
