Now back home after the fire, I can't stop thinking of all the shit I saw living 5 months in a small town almost the exact opposite of where I now sit. I couldn't put all I saw in one post if I tried, so it will take more than a few.
They are just different, you know Trump people.
I am good with empathy and putting myself in the shoes of somebody else, but I can't wrap my mind around it all.
Was at my aunts place who passed last week. Out having a smoke. Dad joins me. Sees I am confused.
I am like why do those people across the street have a short bus. I am not talking about an exteneded van. An actual bus. He is like they have a lot of kids. I am like how many is a lot?
9.
He is like you recall Nate right. Nate was a kid my age that lived next to my grandparents I'd play with.
Nate has 9 kids as well.
At some point in this conversation I made a joke about condemns and has anybody given them one ......
Dad goes on to explain to me this is a "thing." To populate the world. I make a couple statements but he tells me this is pretty common.
Goes on to say they are all home schooled, which is strange since Nate is the President of the local community college and how my father knows his stuff.
Here are the folks voting for Trump. And if he continues to mirror the religious right. Puts down education and promote home schooling, they will never not vote for him. So here we are!
