My mom the MAGA!

I have posted here about how I am caring for my mother who has liver cancer. She has been a religious fanatic my entire life and spent her entire life waiting for Revelations to happen. Now she is sick with terminal cancer and if she lives six months it will be a shock to everyone, especially her doctors at City of Hope.

My mom is the sweetest kindest person you could ever meet. There has never been anyone who doesn’t meet her and fall in love with her sweet charming ways.

But underneath all that sweet, kind and loving persona there has always been a cognitive dissonance caused by her extreme Catholicism. Case in point: up until recently she complained about the current pope because he’s too liberal in her view. How dare he talk about not judging gays. How dare he not talk about going to hell! We were all brought up in such an extremely religious environment that when I say I am a recovering Catholic, I REALLY REALLY mean it.

Well mom fell in love with Trump from the second he said President Obama was not a citizen. She believed Michelle Obama was a closeted transgender man named Michael. She believes Nancy Pelosi is a witch who should be burned at the stake. (Not literally but you get the picture)!!

She has been a Trumper for 7 years! Until yesterday!!! Something came up with my husband about Trump and his MAGA-cards and mom made a disapproving face. I looked at her and said, “Mom! That’s YOUR GUY! You voted for him TWICE!” And she said, “Well people change their minds!”

I was in shock!!! I asked her what will she do if she makes it to the next election. Surprise surprise … NOT! She is now in love with DeSantis! But of course she is! 🤦🏽‍♀️

I normally don’t engage but I had to know! Whyyyy!!! She said he practices what he preaches! To which I responded: don’t forget the Germans voted for Hitler and he practiced what he preached to the point of murder!

My poor mom! I think she lost sleep over that comment!
