My wife just booked her (almost) annual trip back to N. Dakota to see her family. I only went with her twice. Once to meet her family after we were married (2006) and once for her Mom’s Funeral. The prairie isn’t really my thing. She dreads the trips, but wants to see her 3 siblings and their families. They spend their days off talking about what’s for dinner.
Their politics are way off the right edge of the spectrum, so they all avoid anything close the subject when my wife is there. Her older brother still snipes now and then about how bad Biden is and how much they all hate Sen. Mazie Hirono from Hawaii
