Patching things up with my brother

My brother called me back and we talked. He's a good soul even if he is an NRA nut job.

I explained to him why I flew off the handle and he understood completely. He was rather shocked by my yelling and hanging up the phone at him... but he guessed that bringing up Fox News triggered me and wasn't terribly upset at my reaction.

Still... on some level he just doesn't get it. He's still in the 'both sides do it' phase of thinking. I know there are bad people on both sides but shit man... almost *nobody* on the liberal side of things is brandishing guns and threatening to kill people.

We're family and we've been through things. We're okay with each other and that makes me feel better.
