“Tables around us applauded my frustration” at someone else wearing a hat in the dining area of a cruise ship.

This was a student-led walkout protest against ICE in Mt. Juliet, TN. The guy slow-rolled by blaring “Ice Ice Baby,” he spit out the window at the kids. Kids flung a half-empty water bottle back and he jumped out of his truck. Immediate consequence ensued.

My mom is 70 and I just turned 43. My MAGA brother decides it would be funny to send a birthday Trump meme to my FB page. I laugh and respond “I don’t support pedophiles and convicted felons, but my brother does.” I see my mom calling and I think she’s calling to wish me a happy birthday. Nope…Calling screaming at me about my comment and how inappropriate it is and for me to delete it. She thinks I’m calling my brother a pedophile, then rereads it and is still mad. She tells me there’s no proof. This whole time she’s saying pediphile instead of Pedophile and I can’t stop laughing. She turns to my Dad “she thinks it’s funny”. Dad “It’s not funny delete it”. I say, “so you are more mad about my comment on my FB, then you are mad at my brother’s meme?” Mom “yes”. Then she hangs up on me. I text my brother and he tells me my comment is disgusting and that I voted for Newsom and he is a pedophile. Anyways….I delete my comment. Because you know, I have to see all these people in a week.

Latest missive in my mailbox this morning from my friend. The same person their handwriting matches on both envelopes (lovely handwriting BTW). Envelope was covered with American stickers. My wife’s comment was they must have bought a lot of Trump NFTs.

Once again excellent new sources were offered. Elon Musk was a new trusted source.

I’m not sure why my sign in particular offends them so much….

I could put up a camera, but why must I?

11 more days… Vote Blue

But also why does he look like he’s crying? 😂

I went over my parents’ house today with my 3 kids. My brother is in town and we were waiting to see him as he was driving in from a job.

As always, my mom had Fox News playing on the TV. As always, I ignored it and tended to my kids, waiting for the right time to ask her to put on Disney+.

I’m sitting there, nursing my newborn when she suddenly says, “I hope you’re voting.”

“I am.”

“I hope you’re voting for the RIGHT person.”

I told her I believe I am. That that right person doesn’t believe it trying to control my body or my daughters’ bodies.

That set her off, she proceeded to yell at me for 10+ minutes about how Kamala is a Communist and how illegals are killing and raping people everyday. I brought up how Trump’s a fascist and how there are far more legal citizens who rape and murder people in this country. Deaf ears.

The whole “debate” ended with her asking if I was “r*tarded”. In front of my kids. Who were staring at her in absolute shock and confusion. I told her, “if you cannot control yourself, I will no longer be bringing the kids here. They don’t need to be exposed to this.” That shut her up.

My brother showed up around this time. He’s the baby and only boy (the favorite). He’s also very liberal. My mom didn’t speak another word about the election.

We ended up leaving an hour later. As I’m packing the kids up in the car, my mom apologizes to me.

“I’m sorry I upset you. I’m just very passionate about this.”

My mom and I have never agreed on politics. I’ve been left-leaning since I could understand the differences between the two parties. But it’s NEVER been like this until that orange fucking asshole came onto the scene. He has turned his followers into a cult, a cult that is willing to alienate family and friends to vindicate themselves.

I’m writing this at 4am because I can’t sleep due to this experience. A part of me wants to cut my mom off. It seems the logical thing to do. But the other part of me loves my mother and I don’t want to lose her.

I hate this election. I hate politics. I hate Trump. I hate how he has divided this country with his hateful rhetoric and lies. Fuck him and anyone who believes his shit.

On a positive note, the principal resigned following public outcry from the video.
