Oh, theirs. Sorry, thought that would be obvious, but if I were you I'd also be freaked.
Sorry, I'm so used to being the self-absorbed snowflake in my family, I just assume anything negative is directed at me. XD I definitely agree with you! My dad used to be one of those responsible gun owners. My parents used to be democrats, even. They're both college-educated, they're reasonably well off in a way I'll probably never experience myself. Now they've turned into stereotypical racist, rural rednecks. Despite my dad being an immigrant himself. The irony seriously hurts. I don't understand them at all anymore.

@PuppyBreath The reason you're glad you don't have a gun in the house is the same as mine, and I feel you on that one.
My folks do the same thing. They are similarly head-fucked into thinking they have a corner on discernment re: who is and isn't 'deserving', and their take on health care is 'why the fuck should we care about health care being accessible to anybody else, fuck this socialist bullshit, we have medicare now and don't have to care'.
There really are days I wish the irony fairy was an actual thing that'd show up and sparkle the shit out of somebody's face for a few seconds when something like that escapes their mouths.
My parents were both military. They don't have to worry about healthcare, so they definitely don't give any thought to how other people get theirs. They hated ACA even more because one of my sisters was just the right age that she didn't get a break on premiums. But, hey, I still convinced that sister to care about politics and now it's us on this side and everyone else on the other, so at least I'm not completely alone.
If you ever need someone to lean on about the Dark, always feel free to ping me. That goes for anyone. I kind of suck at being comforting or expressing emotions, but I will always listen to someone who needs someone to listen to them.
