    You know, I don’t believe anyone is too far gone. With very few exceptions. I was pretty right-wing at some time in my life and I came back from it, so I do believe in redemption. I do believe that we get to come back from this. But if you end up to a point where you will go on tirade about how Michelle Obama is actually a fucking man… you’re too far gone, you’re one of those exception.

      I cut my dad off years ago because of what he thinks.

      I asked around a while ago about the Michelle Obama thing. It turns out it’s pretty common in extreme right groups that they think this. The underlying issue is that they can’t believe a woman, especially a black woman, can handle herself with such grace. So they just assign that she must be a man. Not consciously of course. They are just so fragile that it’s all they can do.
