I’m self aware enough to know that now may not be the best time to express my political experience, no one asked & I know no one cares but if you grew up with a conservative family I implore you to just hear me out for a second. (1)

My mom wasn’t politically active, so I grew up not paying attention. When I moved in with my father at 18, I learned that he was a republican through & through & because politics had never been a topic of conversation I took everything he said & ran with it (2)

Now here I am 6 years later & ive had to unlearn everything that I was taught. I did this by listening to people who had different views than me, I did this by reading, by watching the democratic debates from last election (which my family didn’t watch) (3)

I say all this to say that if you have had a similar experience, now is the time to question what you know. Not to be dramatic but this is looking like the fall of Rome & society needs you to not only have compassion for what’s happening but to fully understand it as well.

If you need some people to follow/talk too I suggest @Badgirlsbedhead @Mirandanonumber they will challenge every belief you hold while remaining respectful
