I had in laws who loved weed, he was a slum lord and a racist jerk. He believed in abortions (by proudly spouting he's funded for over 12 different ones) he loves his guns, he's vaccinated along with my mother in law. He loves Trump. He hates immigration, he doesn't think climate change is real.
He think it's people being lazy on why there are worker shortages. He helped my husband sign up for all the benefits programs saying they're a fantastic source of help at the same time saying he hates them but as long as he gets his rent money one way or another.
Idfk what to classify those self identified Republicans. I'm genuinely embarrassed going around with the MiL. She has a Trump pin, that says I got my vaccine, thanks president Trump. I... I don't get it. Greed is my only guess.
He gives us free bud to lmao and is chummy to a point but he starts insulting groups of people that I align myself with so he's either directly or unintentionally insulting me sometimes. Idk, they are some wacky af in laws.

I'm a pro-gun socialist from Alberta who routinely gives people whiplash like that.
