    I have [a] conservative family.

    To be conservative in 2024, you have to dismiss that some people in our community are miserable and every day we leave them to their fate is heinous.

    In the US, a failure to vote [against] any given Republican (by voting [for] an opposing democrat) is another step towards autocracy and genocide. Every Republican in office is a force towards the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 project, by which they will unmake the meager democratic features and civil rights that remain in the US.

    Conservatives believe, by the natural extrapolation of their positions and behavior, I have no right to exist. (Curiously, this includes my own father, who simultaneously facilitates political efforts seeking out my extinction while expressing a dissonant interest in my well-being. He doesn’t dare connect the two in his mind.)

      I’m so terribly sorry.

      You both deserve to exist and most likely rock out loud :)
