38. My husband works with a right wing very ethnic Mexican man from Texas in a union job at a major

airplane in SF. He is a huge racist and disparages Black, Asian and Hispanic people saying they are inferior. My husband is the whitest looking man and it’s sad he constantly has to push back on this guy and actually called him a racist once. He is deep in the cult and got radicalized after 9-11 by Michael Savage, Rush and Mark Levin.He has this long commute into where they work and unlike my husband who only has a 20 minute commute. But he is a lost cause according to my husband.

I have also met some Hispanic men I work with in my senior move job who are also in the cult and the one thing they have in common is long commutes to work!
