I remember my father being such a dick to me back then.
Ironic how hes the one who is the issue.
In light of the recent events happening in the US, i figured i would write my experience with whats happening.
My parents are very MAGA.
My father is an adulterer and im pretty sure my mother is a sociopath.
I'm an army veteran. I was a medic. My job put me in very sensative and critical situations that not only opened my mind to a world i had no idea existed, but it taught me about the human experience.
All humans suffer. We all want to be happy.
I am not perfect. I have made mistakes.
But i have a front row seat to these Christian Nationalist here in the US.
My father told me the reason i cried over a girl breaking up with me is because I'm "pussy whipped".
This man was literally having an affair during this.
This same man is a very proud Marine.

If we’re being honest, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which explains why reactions are split That part stands out.

Looking at this, this feels more about execution than intent Not convinced this is settled yet.

From the outside, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Feels like there’s more coming here.

Trying to be fair, this feels more about execution than intent which makes the reaction pretty predictable

Just reading this, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so Time will tell. That’s the impression it gives me.

From a neutral view, the signal is clear, the strategy less so so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s the key detail here. We’ll see how people react over time.

this depends heavily on what happens next and that friction is hard to ignore
