Agreed 1000%. I come from a similar background as the author. I am the lone progressive/queer/agnostic/civil servant in my family of evangelical trumpers. I was really hoping this article could provide helpful insights, but it actually did the opposite.
Basically, ignore mom’s hatred of trans people and immigrants cuz her choco chip cookies meant so much to you growing up! Like wtf.
Every day I feel more lost in this country, and articles like this give me genuine despair. Feels like nothing is changing for the better.
Just know that for every unhinged Stockholm syndrome affirming propaganda peice out there, there people like you and me who see right through it. Take care of yourself. Don’t be gaslite.
