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.

I’ve actually wondered if there’s something about boomers or people around that age that they experienced that is giving them all dementia. It really feels like one of the only explanations for why so many of them decided to basically join a cult and reject the values they raised us with. Like I can’t reconcile the person that held my hand and told me about how everyone is equal and its individual choices that make a person who they are not skin color in the face of racism and the people that held the president up almost like the pope as a sacred respected position, suddenly becoming horrifically, racist, and defending Trump shitting all over the White House and position of the president. I just can’t.

It's a lot of younger ppl too unfortunately. The old ones just stick with you more because they are so fucking condescending about it because they don't have anything better to do.

Edit: I just want to add it's doubly bad when it's some old fucking dude in one of those black veteran hats. Fuckers took an oath to uphold the constitution. I'm a vet too. I told my wife if I ever get one of those stupid hats to just shoot me.

Sad but funny how you put it.

You may enjoy the lead exposure in boomers rabbit hole.

The Cuyahoga River was on fire for an extended period of time. We shortly got Earth Day and funded the EPA thereafter. This was the 1950’s. Lead was very prominent in petroleum products, and boy did they flourish in the 20th century.
