I hope my dad is proud of himself for supporting the riots that happened in DC on the 6th.
I think if he could've driven all the way to DC he would have. he went and protested at the state house and he flaunted it around to his family like it was something amazing happening, like it was the pinnacle of freedom and democracy-- oh I'm sorry, I mean republic. (he constantly corrects me and tell me the US is a republic, not a democracy. I don't even know).
and then ofc he got angry at me when I didn't want anything to do with what the pro-trump protesters were doing. he was basically saying that my decision to stay away was a threat to our country, telling me "do you know what's at stake?"
I haven't heard him say a damn thing about what happened since he got home. I hope he knows that I'm not gonna take any more **** from Trump and the rest of the GOP. I was already tired of it (cause a little less than a week ago he basically called me an idiot just for being a liberal) but if he doesn't feel any remorse for what happened then that's horrible.
I've also quite enjoyed seeing all the news articles about cabinet members resigning and some suggesting that Trump be removed from office immediately. I'm so tired of hearing people say he's a great president, because he's not. he should've never become president in the first place, he shouldve stayed in Hollywood. I'm so glad that democracy was able to take place and allowed for Biden to become the new president.
in fact, I remember my dad saying that (somehow) Trump would absolutely remain president after the Jan 6th event. for some reason both of my parents are terrified of Biden and especially Harris. they think that Harris will destroy this country. how gullible can they be?
whatever the case may be, I really hope that this riot was a wake up call to make both sides realize that constantly antagonizing each other is not helping this country at all. that's all Trump ever did, he just instigated fights against the democrats/liberals and somehow convinced his followers (my dad) that democrats are idiots and self-absorbed and want to see this country die. I'm so so SO glad he's leaving. only problem is now republicans will never shut up about Biden and they'll always be quick to point out his every little flaw, as if he's not human.
and after all this, my dad will never apologize for the ****ty things he's said to me about my political views. it's bs like this that makes me want to leave home. this is a very toxic environment I'm living in, because my dad is a certified brainwashed Republican who apparently can't think for himself and just listens to all the **** spewed out by Mark Levinn and Shaun Hannity. I doubt he ever said sorry about the riots either; after all, he supported it whole-heartedly and got angry when I said I didn't want anything to do with it. I hope he's weeping over Biden's win. when you follow someone as insane as Trump you're gonna crash and burn. his supporters deserve it.
sorry about the rant I'm just so fed up with the deep divide in my country and how Trump and his followers aren't doing **** about it. I think they enjoyed deepening the divide, they seemed to brag about it. I really hope Biden and Harris know what they're doing and work towards actually making America great (not again, you cannot move backwards, only forward. Biden knows that).
