to be honest half of that shit sounds like something my mother probably already kind of believes and might accept fully if it came from the mouth of anybody other than him, and she considers herself a liberal leftist some fucking how

woke up and my dash is covered in americans going apeshit. fuck did I miss

#increasingly convinced the only reason she sees herself as a leftist is because her only metric for comparison #is her side of the extended family #which consists ENTIRELY of feverishly hyper-christian alt right nutcases who think the rapture is any day now and go to evangelical rallies #and think that trump is the literal second coming #and routinely rant about things like how they're being oppressed for not being allowed to wear swastikas #because like literally the only things even vaguely centrist much less left about my mother #is that she's a radfem & hates corporations (in the abstract& in speaks about “republicans” in the same sneering all-blaming tone #that conservatives speak about democrats #& is somewhere vaguely adjacent to athiest (but lately is ending up more worryingly culty vaguely wiccan crystal woo-shit)#every single other opinion she's ever expressed to me would make half the actual nazis i've seen either raise an eyebrow or blush #oh and she also doesn't outright think the Gays and ect should be *killed*. she just thinks anyone weirder than basic gay is mentally ill #and is some kind of dangerous fetishist on the level of furries (???)#but her idea of support vs not is so warped and mired in her innate hostility that she legitimately believes with her entire soul #that just NOT ACTIVELY PURPOSELY INTENTIONALLY BEING MURDEROUSLY HOSTILE TO SOMEONE ALL OF THE TIME counts as fully supporting them #because NOT ACTIVELY INTENTIONALLY PURPOSEFULLY BEING HOSTILE TO SOMEONE ALL OF THE TIME is some sort of herculean effort she owes no one #she's also in favor of better industrial regulation #but like. that's it. she's centre-to-far-right on almost everything else.#she doesn't even like *student loan forgiveness*. she just goes on a rant about how it's "not fair to people who WORKED they way up like HE #and then insists to the point of violence that she knows more than me and saving up money hasn't gotten any harder since the fucking 90's #and that we're all just lazy and can't be bothered to prepare and save responsibly #and of course that she had it worse than everyone in the world and “still pulled through”#she also refuses to believe the housing market is as impossible as it is. even when my dad tells her himself why we can't afford to move.#this has gotten a bit off topic point is i could absolutely see her inventing “illegal aliens are getting transed in prison”#being something she came up with on her own and SINCERELY believed #i mean she already LITERALLY believes people in most other countries (especially china & france) are routinely eating cats & dogs #and that everyone FROM those countries regularly eats cats and dogs and whatever else #... to the point that we can't get goddamned chinese takeout without her accusing some random meat of being secretly fucking.#ducks or frogs caught from the pond behind the building. those are actual examples.
