I love my mother, but she has drunk the Trump Koolaide. I tried to talk to her about the plight of the people illegally sent to El Salvador. She could not say it was wrong and wouldn’t stop talking about Hunter Biden. She has spent her life helping the less fortunate but can’t see their humanity.
I’m reading Number the Stars with my daughter. I really wish it wasn’t so relevant.
My MAGA mother: why don’t you like He WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED?
Me: He’s a rapist.
Her: I know, but Joe Biden fell asleep in meetings, so I couldn’t vote for him.
Apparently, sleeping is worse than rape.
After Trump and Vance’s pitiful meeting with President Zelenskyy yesterday, I want to do something to show my support for Ukraine. So, I donated to United 24 and St. Javelin. It’s not enough, but it’s something.
