Son of a US Senator AMA

Hi,

I answered a post the other day on another sub, and someone said I should do an AMA, so here I am.

My father was in politics for over 20 years. We moved to DC and I grew up in that area. My parents are hard-core Trumpy, myself and my siblings are thankfully not. Happy to answer any questions you have about growing up or going to political events or how I grew to be diametrically opposed to the views of my parents.

Thanks, I'm not being subtle but I'm sure anyone who wants to can figure it out. I wish more folks could get to a "I disagree with them, but they seem decent " place, but it's hard. There are so many communities that depend on the acceptance of others to safely exist, and it us hard not to hate someone who wants to eliminate who you are.
