My mom was saying the other day that she couldn’t believe how someone so “liberal” would be married to RFK Jr. When I suggested Hines must not be as liberal as she thought, my mom tried to argue.
I reminded her that, if you sit at a table with 11 nazis, there are 12 nazis at the table; that got her to stop.
Then again, couples like James Carvill and Mary Matalin do exist in the world. My in-laws are like that too. Totally opposite ends of the political spectrum.
I imagine when politics is your job, you might try even harder to leave it at the office. Oftentimes people will drift politically but still continue to like one another for the same reasons they did when they first met, and keep the politics out of the house for the sake of harmony. Of course, there’s a line in any arrangement.

Yeah, I had to remind myself she isn’t the character she plays on Curb Your Enthusiasm
The saying is that if there’s one Nazi at a table and ten others, there are eleven Nazis.
You’re right. In the context of my conversation with my mom, it made more sense the other way, but I should’ve explained. Thank you for clarifying :)
