I have 2 GOP parents, one that voted Trump originally and one that did not. Over the last 9 years, I have watched them both travel down the MAGA pipeline to become visibly fascist. The parents who taught me racism was wrong and to have empathy for others, have become openly hostile about immigrants, Muslims, and even parrot the Nazi “great replacement” theory.
Part and parcel with this, they refuse to have any discussions about the facts – like immigrants not stealing and eating people’s pets. They won’t hear it, they won’t even engage in the conversation…they just get angry and loud the second they hear anything that doesn’t fit into the Fox News narrative. Can you relate? How are you dealing with it in your relationships with your parents?
Most of you people need to come to terms with the fact that your parents are pieces of shit and hopefully the next pandemic claims them as they are wasting oxygen by existing.
As my friend @West_of_West@piefed.social would say, that sounds kind of mean spirited. 🤷♂️
I try not to waste empathy on the worthless (conservatives).
I agree with you. Once a fascist and unwilling to change (even in the face of deradicalisation programs), always a fascist.
I pity them, but at the same time, reserve no compassion for those who would kill everyone.
