"What were you doing in 2020 Grandpa?"

"Well son, I was a member of a white supremacist group called the 'Proud Boys' so we would dress up in yellow kilts, write in permanent marker on each other's butts and attack civil rights protestors and people who didn't look like us."
"Wow. What were you so mad about, Grandpa?"

"Diversity and science, mostly. But also just trying to distract myself from my deep, gnawing insecurity and my unfounded sense of entitlement as a result of the social construct of whiteness."

"Damn, did you ever get therapy?"

"Nah"
"Was Grandma a part of this too?"

"Oh yeah, she was a big anti-masker/anti-vaxxer in her day! She also really didn't like asylum seekers *chuckling*"

"Didn't she pass away from COVID though?"

"Yep! She had the honor of getting it at a Trump rally disputing the election"
