Confessions of a MAGA kid. It’s long but I know I’m not alone here. My dad is under educated but extremely smart. My mom is highly educated but naive. When they both fell into MAGA the family thought it was a phase but they haven’t let up. When they got covid they took hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. It was then we knew we lost them but here’s the kicker. My mom steers the ship, always has, and my dad followed her right off the crazy train cliff. Not once did they see it was MAGA that was destroying our family. Not once did they step back and say “maybe we’re the problem”. Instead the two of them became martyrs for MAGA. I’ve lost all respect for my parents but I still love them dearly. I dream of the day one of them wakes up and realizes they’ve been worshiping at an alter built with hate and ignorance. Until then, I’m left self orphaning myself because I can’t live in a world where they dive into delusion and everyone just has to accept it. MAGA proclaims to be the party of “real American family values” but all it does is rip families to shreds. My story isn’t unique and if you’re in this hellscape of a boat too, you’re not alone. Fuck you @realDonaldTrump
