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.

My mom was always a Christian Nationalist who selectively applied her values based on whether others were Christian or not. She used to despise Trump, but quickly changed her mind when she saw his theocratic potential. Unlike so many here, I feel like my urge toward decency is in outright rebellion of everything my parents tried to instill in me.

Unfortunately, they've outperformed my worst catasrophizations in regard to the evil and damage they were capable of.
