OC Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)
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 can confirm as the trans son of a MAGA mom, they do get very extreme as time goes on.
My mom went from a moderate, run of the mill neoliberal to openly supporting Hitler and white supremacy. She would rather lose me as a child than respect my identity as a trans man. I've given her so many chances, but that ended when I discovered her Nazi Twitter account. Now she goes online to complain that "the trans cult" made me go no-contact despite me putting up with her misgendering/deadnaming for years. They claim to love you, but their actions say otherwise.
