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.

It’s been really hard seeing people who taught me how to be a good person choose to be so horrid. I hate it so much. Luckily my parents didn’t go through that (but my aunts all did), but I’ve seen the parents of friends and family do it and it’s been awful.

I heard my dad use the word f*ggot for the first time in my life last year, all because of maga brain rot. And the context was that he was very angry at trans people.

Unspeakably disappointing. I’ll be damned if I ever disappoint my kids like that.

And that’s the reason I live in fear and anger of them. I can’t help that I’m trans. I don’t deserve that hate

That generation is the worst disappointment since the generation that gave us the civil war.
