There is more here that a simple joke. My dad and I tease each other about politics, neither of us have ever gotten upset. My cousins and I joke about politics, nobody gets offended. There is more to this story. From what the DUmmy is posting, I expect that this was the most recent in a series of political jabs that really haven't been meant to be funny but to hurt and exclude his husband. The fact that she would complain about his political views online gives some insight on how she treats him at home.
