I charged a lot of people to the game after this past election and haven't looked back. Its definitely affected my relationship with my moms. She said a couple of things that sent off some sirens, saying that some of the people who got locked up kamala probably deserved to be there and some other old n****a stuff. Now when she texts me or emails some racial injustice stuff I say, "do you regret voting for Joe?" and she says np. cuz it got Trump out. Not even a week after her last illuminating visit, a Black authority broadcast came on and he was talking about the Baby boomer and the single mother mentality. I spent a solid week ruminating on the things she had said and the things Jason Black had been talking about. And I just shook my head cuz he was describing my mother and I thought about all her behavior while raising me and my brother (she had split custody with our dads) and damn it, Jason Black was right on the money. I say this without hyperbole, coming from a family background that is as lost (and kuhnified) as mine is, I'm lucky that I made it this far in life without something catastrophic occurring. All the obvious red flags, propaganda, tricknology, and dog whistles that we're fine tuned to pick up on, is just a chicken commercial/innocuous tv show/news article to the rest of my family. As a baseline, my parents did okay, they were around enough I guess, but they hit the bare minimum marks. They did everything to make sure my brother and I survived, but unfortunately, they didn't know what it took for their kids to thrive. They were very much apart of that cadillac and night club life style back in the late 70's and early 80's.
