    Sounds familiar. With my conservative family members it’s always either socialism or islamphobia. Or both.

      My cousins are half-Thai (white father, Thai immigrant mother) and virulently anti-immigrant at the same time. They are also fiercely anti-Semitic and pro-Israel at the same time. I don’t know how their heads have not exploded already. It helps that they are genuinely dirt stupid.

      If they’re like mine, they don’t even know what socialism actually is. They just imagine Russian bread lines and conveniently forget socialist programs, like Social Security.
