Both my parents voted for Trump. My mom thinks that January 6th was okay because the economy was good.
I'm barely being civil, mostly because at one point in my life they were empathetic, kind people before Fox News and the likes of Glenn Beck fucked them in the head.
I pretty much always try to push back on their insanity ("'they' let immigrant murders go free!" Well that doesn't sound right, where did you hear that?) I'm hoping eventually something will shake them free, but I'm not holding my breath.
At least now I can (and have) used the most cutting, awful phrase they would say to me when I messed up as a kid...
I'm not mad, just really disappointed in you.
Fuck that. I'm pissed. I'll make their lives miserable until the day I die if I can.
