Here is a personal bombshell from my own family.
My mom is as apolitical as one can get. She does NOT follow the news at all, only watches movies and weather channel. I can not recall the last time her mentioning any political issue. But alas it happened.
Before I unwrapped a New Years present (couple of minutes back) that had a label "From Santa" on it, I shook the present to figure out what it is and said "sweater". To this my mom said that she does not think so. So I asked her, with a smirk: "how do you know, since the present is from Santa and not you." At which point she looked at me and said: "I had Santa Claus arrested and renditioned out to a different country to get the information out of him. It took me a minute to realize that my eyes popped out and my jaw dropped. I was THAT surprized by her comment.
Eventually when I regained control of my speech, I said "So I bet you'll at least vote now?" To which she replied: "Somebody got to get those idiots out there". This is from a woman who has not voted for the last 20 or so years. There maybe yet be hope for this country.
