My mom parrots Trumps’s lies about the pool. Exhausting.
My mom goes on this big screed about how there’s criminals who are destroying Trumps hard work and vandalizing the reflecting pool just to make him look bad.
And I decided to engage, and tell her no that’s not what happened. They didn’t put the treatment down correctly, and didn’t fix the drainage issues so the pool grew allege and the paint came up from water damage.
Then she disintegrates into a big rant about how everyone’s out to get Trump, it’s not his fault anyway, then how these people who hate America should leave, how people who burn the American flag should go to jail, how they should move to Iran and see how great America is, and how this country is becoming a hellhole run by socialists.
Oh and then she’s says she’s pissed people are even talking about the pool in the first place.
Then she hangs up on me.
This is all because the President can’t stop lying to millions of Americans every day to protect his own ego, and never admit that he fucked up.
I’m just so god damn tired of the rational woman I used to talk to being driving fucking rabid by constant propaganda.
Her mother (my grandma) is pretty liberal, and my mom goes “she’s being brainwashed by MS Now.” Irony is dead.
