I can’t even tell my mom what’s going on in my life because every time a conversation gets “too political,” she shuts it down, or if she can’t do that, she leaves.
I would love to keep her in the loop, but when almost every aspect of my life exists as it does because of political forces, that doesn’t leave much I can say to her. If she loves me enough to want me in her life, she can suck up her political apathy and listen. But she won’t, and you know what they say - you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
Yeah it’s on her too, but I think if your life hinges too much on political outcomes, then you are going to lead a very unhappy life. I prefer to keep my happiness in my own hands as much as possible.
I think it’s more important to get along with the people I talk to and interact with every day, than to go to bat for my political team. You should too.

You sound like the kind of person who would blame 80’s gay men for getting aids.
MAGAs are awful people, their defenders are no better.

Tell that to my folks who constantly cheerlead for Trump
