Patriotic Toy or Political Statement??

Rusty has a new patriotic toy... it's a donkey that is red, white and blue with stars and stripes all over... Of note, everyone knows mom votes liberal, but no one really knows who dad votes for (it's a mystery).
D: "Umm, did mom buy that toy or did dad buy that toy? Because if mom bought it, then she bought it because she wanted Rusty to identify with the Dems. If dad bought it, does it mean that he wanted Rusty to tear it to pieces and thus is one more piece of evidence that's he's a conservative like we all thought?"
Devin: "Stop politicizing my dog!"
It still remains a mystery...
