Well. It’s over.
I’ve posted on here before about it, but my siblings and I have been trying to have an intervention with our evangelical MAGA mom and I think we are finally calling it.
Trump has damaged our relationship with her immensely, and we tried to keep the focus on that the most. Like “hey it’s hurtful you keep choosing this man over relationship with your children.” My sister had one more and probably final talk with her today and it basically cemented the fact that we have lost our mom.
Sure, we will probably still have a very surface level relationship, but the relationship we had before is gone. She was always conservative growing up but we always could come to her about anything. We always went to her when we needed comfort or needed to ease our anxieties. Truly she was one of our favorite people we could really be ourselves around and not fear any anger or judgement.
But then Trump happened. And she and her 3rd even more MAGA extreme husband moved out to the middle of nowhere. Isolated with no friends or family and with Fox News playing 24/7. It was a recipe for disaster and the cult has taken our mom.
My sister asked her if there was anything he could do to make her stop supporting him and she struggled to come up with an answer. So yeah.
Fuck Trump. Fuck MAGA. Fuck Christian nationalism.
Thanks for letting me rant.
