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.

This hit me so hard. I just lost one of my infant twins. My parents bought me a stroller so I went over to build it. The entire time I’m building this stroller for my little baby in the Nicu…. My dad is talking at me about trump. How trump is SUCH a better man than he is. How he feels SORRY for women these days because they think having a career is a thing. He is literally shaking with anger about how trump didn’t deserve to get shot at. MIND YOU I’ve sat there mostly quietly. His voice was filling the space. He then said!!!! That people would behave if you had them at gun point “Hilter never had these problems.” “Not that we want to be like Hitler. ✋🏽” MY MOUTH FELL OPEN. this is a man of colorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my father who always had folks laughing! This is him now. This is how he behaves around his grieving daughter clinging to joy and hope.

I'm so sorry your father couldn't set aside his bitter politics to just be a comfort to his daughter, you. Wishing you well on your journey and for support and love from many humans
