So I just found out that my mom is a lot more of a trumper than I thought. I don’t live at home anymore but I know that my family has been in some years only watching Fox News. I it I do like our local channel as well because they do like to talk about things to do around town more than the other channels. But anyway not sure what happened because my mom used to have a strong opinion on women’s rights and gun laws but she completely surprised me the other day.
We were running a garage sale and my mom asked if I would come home and help. I didn’t mind I made $20 in the process but anyway some guy parked by our house with a Trump sticker on the back of his car. He was an older guy but looked like your stereotypical red neck NRA southerner. When my mom went into the house I had to talk to some of the shoppers alone so when she came back later I told her the conversation I had with the guy.
He said he wouldn’t buy the movie I had because the main actor on it was a democratic to which I simply said, “well most actors are democrats sir.” The guy and I actually did have a good laugh about it as he basically said “you are right.”
After we started to close up the garage sale, the guy and his wife came back to his truck. I saw my mom walk out to him and struck up a conversation. I was curious so I went and they were just talking all about ing Trump and bashing the democrats. And the only thing going through my mind was over and over say “I’m gay.” And watch the conversation stop. I didn’t actually do it but even now I’m actually embarrassed to now do anything political around my mom. I guess I’ll have to keep my mouth shut at Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.
