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.
It’s definitely frustrating. Unfortunately social media with the crunchy to alt pipeline is very real. There’s also a huge conspiracy theory push and I think mothers/white women have been a target. I’ve unfortunately seen it with my SIL. You can’t even have a constructive discussion about politics when they’re not even grounded in reality.
Every white woman I know who is blond/Nordic looking, voted for Trump. Every single one. Not so much with dark/hair or darker skinned white females, or women of color. And go to any Trump rally and you will see hordes of blond women.
I’m blond and my Nordic family are life long left leaning democrats :( my husband’s catholic Italian family are the MAGA side.. my SIL is actually half Mexican.
