i have a couple of relatives who used to tell “polish jokes” and “bohunk jokes” back in the day (coincidentally, they started telling those when people started being offended by, or at least pretended to be offended by, “n****r jokes”). these days you can’t talk to them for more than five minutes before they start telling me about viktor orban, the great things his government is doing in hungary, and how we need leadership like his more than ever. they also are prone to talking about how good trump was and what a shame it is that the “democrat party” stole the election from him. needless to say, i keep away from them as much as possible but even in the time of covid there are occasions where i find myself in their presence.
