My uncle is like this, he's the only liberal in my entire family. There was one gun related crime near him, cops were called and engaged in a shoot-out. Well, my uncle now has a new motto about how there should be more cops, but they should "shoot for the legs." Because he still regards himself as some socially progressive liberal.

Every time I visit him he's convinced I'm extremely right wing because I tell him his democratic politicians of choice (He likes Joe Kennedy III and Beto O'Rourke) are absolute losers. I'll tell him I'm a commie and he just laughs and says "me too."
