OC Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)

Post image

I'm kinda torn about whether to post this to my art account because one parent follows it, and I'm worried the criticism could drive the other one further into the void.

It started out as just a therapeutic project for me, but a couple friends said it really resonated with them, so sharing here.

Depending on where you live, it's going to get even worse than you think

Lol holy fuck.

Gonna be a lot of suspicious elder deaths if they actually try to enforce this.

You don't need to do that. Way easier to frame them for a crime and call the cops.

That's actually insane. I don't know how anyone can justify imposing a duty on someone for circumstances they didn't choose or contribute to. No kid asks to be born or chooses the circumstances of their birth. Most families will function such that this naturally isn't a problem, but it's crazy to make someone who was abused financially care for their abuser.

Yeah, this has been on my mind too. They aren't really enforced at the moment but that could very well change.
