If my parents did an AMA, what would you ask them?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Not promising this is going to happen, although I did mention it when I was in ND and they seemed to think I was joking....but I'm curious what would be asked. If I like any of the questions I might forward it on to them.

[MR DARK BRANDON]

Why did you decide to have him?

[bagelman]

I would probably ask about life living in Native territory.

[Schiff for Senate]

I'd ask about their political views and opinions, honestly.

[Mr. Morden]

Would you prefer Sneakers O'Toole take off his sneakers in a Biden precinct or a Trump precinct?

DST? Is that one of those new THC derivatives?

Was your son conceived in a pub district?

Have you ever been on an R precinct and does your son hate you for that?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Ha, just rediscovered this. Might pass some of these on actually.

I would probably ask about life living in Native territory.

What specifically? Because that I might pass on.

Why did you decide to have him?

They had just been married for two years and were getting secure and established in a low cost of living area.

I'd ask about their political views and opinions, honestly.

I'll answer this one: my dad is formerly an independent, actually grew up in a very ancestrally R area (one of the only four counties in Minnesota to vote for Goldwater FYI) but he was a true swing voter and even voted for Perot in 1992. However Trump turned him pretty solidly anti-Republican across the board. My mom was also an independent who got completely alienated by Trump, but she was also more D-leaning (and from a Democratic union family), I think she would like the Democrats less if she lived somewhere like Illinois or a northeastern state where Democrats can be so corrupt and sometimes unpleasant, but North Dakota Democrats are so inoffensive (they don't have any power so there's no real reason to hate them if you're not a raging right-winger) she can't be turned off by them. She likes Burgum though and voted for him twice. And if she lived here would probably at least vote third party against Ilhan Omar.

Their most vocal thing about politics now is hating the Fox News hosts.

What are your least and most favorite TV shows?

My dad doesn't really watch anything besides sports and occasionally cable news or game shows now, but his all time favorite show is either All In The Family or the original Twilight Zone. My mom has a tendency to get obsessed with certain TV shows for awhile and then just kind of stop immediately, her last one was Catfish (the MTV reality show), I know she also likes to watch shows like CBS-style legal dramas and crime investigation shows. But her all time favorite show is M*A*S*H.

Was your son conceived in a pub district?

A Biden >80% precinct, although somehow Reagan managed to win the county (by quite a bit too) in 1980. A strange pattern actually, a Carter-Reagan-Mondale county, voting for all by at least 19 points...I'm guessing either Carter did something to piss off some tribal leaders big time or the economic situation was devastating there more than usual. Also in 1992 George H.W. Bush almost came in third, beating Perot by just seven votes (including as mentioned my father's.)

Have you ever been on an R precinct and does your son hate you for that?

They actually live in the single most Democratic precinct in North Dakota that isn't in Fargo, Grand Forks or a Reservation. Trump only won it by about two points and with less than 50%. But alas, Trump still won.

No. I didn't see any until college.

Obviously, if I were to ask your parents a question, it would be the same one I have asked a couple dozen of posters here: would you be willing to support my idea for an amendment to the US Constitution that rewrites Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to make its meaning narrower and clearer? (I have asked this question around 25 times already, so I will assume, for the sake of this post, that you don't need me to repeat what is in my proposal.)

[President Johnson]

Do you live in a Trump or Biden precinct?
