You know, I read shit like this and even though they had their fuckups, I recognize my parents did some major things right. We had family voting might, amicably discussed the candidates and issues, and then they showed us you could knowingly vote differently and still be a loving family.

Open fascists weren't on our ballots until recently which made disagreement significantly more palatable. Talking about the rest of the ballot tho, honestly on some measures I don't care that much and others in my family do. I'll gladly lend my voice/vote on issues my family cares about if they'll do the same for me (and they have).

Nixon was fash af. Reagan wasn't much better. The white Christian nationalism of the modern conservative movement has been around for a long time
