How Trump affected my family

6. I am heart broken for you.

The last couple of years of my late Mother's life, she had nothing but FOX Noise on. When I would visit her for a few weeks each year in the Reno area, she would have it on and I would have to leave the room. We would discuss things afterwards, and often not resolve our differences.

I recalled one of our conversations when my mother told me she was a "Liberal Conservative". I let her know that such an animal did not exist. One was either "Liberal" or "Conservative" in their politics and life in general, but not both at the same time. I reminded her that she was not overly religious enough to be considered "Conservative", and her politics were more on the "Liberal" side in that she raised me to THINK for myself, rather than follow a set tenet that took away my ability to think. The last few years of her life, she grew even more conservative. It was painful to watch.

It was from my mother and her view of things, I am the person that I am today. Outspoken, passionate about issues, refusing to be controlled. Would she have voted for tRump? Perhaps. given her position that she told me in 2012 that she would support a Black man for President, but "Not that Black man(Obama)." That statement told me right there that FOX had brainwashed her.

My condolences. My advice to you would be, tell your mother the TRUTH when she brings up the subject of tRump, and that her vote for him puts you at odds with her. If she cannot handle the truth, she is the one who has lost out. I loved my mother to the end of her life and told her so. At least she knew that when she died.
