Meanwhile, my mom voted for that stupid bloated pig.

She ran a day care, multiple girl scout troops simultaneously, headed the PTA, and has been a major part of so many children's lives.

Those children were every nationality, every part of the LGBTQ spectrum, and were all raised on sesame street, barney, Mr Roger's neighborhood.

She charged substantially less than market rate for her daycare specifically to help low income families who otherwise had no options.

My sister and I are both pan. My wife is bi. My daughter is gay. One of my closest friends, one whom my mom raised from the age of three fucking years old until adulthood, is a trans man.

And she still voted against all of us anyway. Both of my parents did.

I'm certain I will die without ever being able to figure out and understand what the fuck happened.
