Pretty much. My whole family was fairly left leaning once upon a time. However they have since fallen for the mass trump indoctrination.
My mother who was once an elementary school teacher to some of the most under privileged children in tulsa, who lived for her job and only wanted a better future for her Hispanic and black students now wants those very children to be deported if illigeal cause she took the trump pill.
My father who used to employ only Mexicans for his somewhat successful construction company, wants that cheap labor deported as they are " taking US citizens jobs" like what?
The craziest part is my family is half Mexican, my grandma came from Mexico to the us in the 50s in search for a better life for her children. So my dad is half Mexican. Talk about some irony.
My Mexican nana would be sad to see whom her children are blindly following
Sorry for tge rant but sheesh, its gonna be a rough day
My mom went though her self proclaimed "trump era" during the 2016 elections after my sister came out as bi. It was hell. I'm terrified of what she'll do if I tell her I'm trans and have known so for 5+ years.
My sister's boyfriend is trans (on HRT for 3 years) but she's started going own a spiral again after my sister told her, today she dropped the line of "He is NOT getting my blessing!" and my (homophobic but doesn't know) grandma said "well guess [sister] is gonna be like me and Pop!" as my grandma didn't get a blessing for her marriage.
You may not get a blessing from your family for who you truly are. However there are a ton of folks that support you and whoever/However you want to live your life.
Be gay Do crime And be kind ๐
