I don’t know where to put this.
I’m a bicurious/hetero young white woman with Christian white parents. My dad found out I support gay rights despite identifying as straight. He didn’t really like that I have a Hispanic fiancé (he was okay with it, but he was like “you could do better, come on.”)
He called me a “leftist lib” because I support interracial marriages, gay marriages, trans rights, etc. How can you use supporting these things an insult though??
I also really want acceptance as someone who is neurodivergent and has seen neurodivergent people and minorities be bullied/discriminated against and also has been bullied themself.
Fox made him automatically associate left leaning politics with the extreme anarchist/communist left radicals. Usually when you explain your actual positions to those kinds of people they are surprised you’re not for killing all men and making sure every single person has exactly the same property, or something.
It’s hard to come by a maga that’s reasonable enough to actually want to listen to a “leftist” point of view though.
