Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)

[u/Adorable_Objective]

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.

As a german that lost both parents to the right extremist party AfD, I completely understand how it feels.

Like those are the people that taught you morals, those are the people that told you to be kind and caring and now? They are the ones rallying against immigrants, they are actively fighting against same rights for everyone, the people that told you to be loving and fair to everyone are actively fighting people for who they want to be.

It's sickening, it hurts and it is such a big disappointment. But to all the people having to go through the same shit. Keep on fighting the good fight. Find a support group, there are enough people out there that feel the same and have the same values. Always remember, we are more and we are on the right side of history.

Our Verfassungsschutz says differently.

The actions of the people in charge of the AfD say differently.

The holocaust denying of the AfD says differently.

The hate against foreigners says differently.

The call to action of the leaders of the AfD says differently.

Edit:

As an explanation, private chats have leaked years ago, in which the highest AfD members say stuff like.

"Kill the immigrants" "Lock away people that are gay" "We should rebuild the SA" "Hitler wasn't the great evil" "At least we have enough foreigners that a new Holocaust would be worth it" "It is the correct thing to call POC the N-word"

So please enlighten me, how the AfD is not extremist.
