k, so i have been texting my mom for like 2 days non-stop all this shit. and i do want to share cause it might be relevant to someone else? who knows. i am bored.
I have been trying to explain to mom that she is a bigot because she doesn't like people with different value systems to her.
It isn't exactly her fault. The media messages it so fucked up.
I mean, she really believes people vote for trump because they are entrenched in tjse white nationalist ideologies and the progressive truths threaten their white identity.
It just seems to me that most trump voters, don't have a confedrate flag and a copy of the mein kamf next to their bible. I think people are faith votes or people who want to protect their freedom. I don't claim to understand everyone's motivations, cause I am not a rural person and don't really demographically fit in with maga. But I try to be practical about what might be motivating voters other than their white identity.
I tried to get into how abortion policy for republicans is a faith based issue and people who are christian value faith and that is their right. I want to show her how she is trampling on the value system of Republicans.
She thinks she is trampling on backwards ideas that are not educated regarding a women's right to have abortion.
Anyway.
I got into "black or bust"
Ultimately
She is asking a bunch of people, who are white, and do have a right to vote in their own self interest without being racist.
I thought maybe alot of trump voters don't live in the city and most black people live in the city. So they don't really interact and race relations are not such an issue in rural communities.
I tried to show her how Trump people felt about liberal imposition of their moral code. She doesn't see it that way, she thinks it is just the right way to make the world a better place.
I brought up 1619 and suggested maybe it is okay to add more information about black people into the education system, but it made people uncomfortable because it centers the entire education process around race relations. She went on and on. I did get her a bit because I forced her to question why discussing black race relations was better than talking about all race relations. I wanted to understand or critique the need for it to be a black thing. What about the chinese who built the railroad and panama canal and stuff. She gives me some shit about them not being oppressed in 2020. Anyway. the only way I could crack it was to explain she was scaring people with alot of the stuff liberals want to educate with because it isn't just 1619, it is radical sex ed. They call it sex education, but it has nothing to do with reproductive organs or responsible behavior. it is about non-science stuff like homosexuality. that is called an education about love. but I think I won by showing her that she was being pushy by trying to tell everyones kids about homosexuality in the 3rd grade.
