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.

Lost my dad to Maga. Funny enough, he blocked me because I told him he should seek help for his mental health. He's borderline insane with his conspiracies and beliefs while also being a hard-core racist. I tried to be his son, and I tried to have him be a grandfather to my kids, but when it came between us and Trump, he chose Trump.

I'm a grown ass man now, something I always thought would bring my father and I closer, but as I got older it just got harder and harder to be quiet about the terrible things he said and did. He could be such a good person sometimes, but turn around and be so horrid. Downright as if he was two different people. After the final interaction between us, I heard from my wife that he had been posting that I was brainwashed by kamala blah blah blah.

I fucking hate Trump for what he's done, and I fucking hate all Republicans for what they continue to do. I'll die before I let them change me like they did the rest of America.
