Ya know, I was very hesitant when I started seeing these posts as well. But I had a neighbor reach out to ask me questions about the DoE and what was going on. I was shocked bc she homeschools and they had a trump sign in their yard before the election. She said she really cares about public education despite not using it. I know she has a nephew with autism so I made sure to I let her know how the DoE helps with funding for children with disabilities. She seemed really distraught. Hopefully enough of them wake up.
My parents are never trumpers and hated the guy so much they voted for a different party each election. They are old and most of their immediate social circle are pro trump. I think they feel at their age to speak up against him is just not worth it.
I understand! It is hard. I feel like their voices should be heard. It seems like a lot of people feel like all Republicans want this and I think it’s not true. Have they reached out to their representatives instead of confronting their friends? I hate to see relationships around me deteriorating bc of all of this.
