He sent me this picture and a video clip and all but explicitly threatened to chase me around with a rubber/foam mallet like whack-a-x games use. Because he wants to play "whack a commie".
Damn, I really hate the Red Scare.

Unfortunately, he's a decent human being when he's not getting into political arguments, and he makes my mum happy, and I can't socially afford to be directly responsible for anything that takes happiness away from her. Now, if he wasn't family and he was more explicitly fascist... yeah, ethical removal of fascism might be called for.
That said, I do have access to ultimately harmless toy guns. So next time he threatens to play Whack a Commie with a foam or inflatable hammer, I'll get one of those out to play Shoot a Fascist. Roughly equal physical damage done. Sounds fun!
