I still can't get past the mocking of the disabled reporter.

28. My Republican mom said it was disgusting. She claimed his mocking reminded her of her precious

granddaughter (my daughter), who is quadriplegic with a speech disability as a result of cerebral palsy... and it made her sick to her stomach. He was a HORRIBLE person... and she would NEVER vote for him... and he would NEVER become the nominee... and then she and my equally white trash sister actually attended the inauguration. My deplorable-- and proud of it!--sister even posted on FB about how the fake news media were lying about the crowd size. My mom and sister are white nationalist, confederacy loving (the South shall rise again!), xenophobic, misogynist idiots who get their marching orders from Hannity, Limbaugh, etc.. (Although to be fair, my sister and her ignoramus of a husband jumped in the clown car early on, when it all still seemed like a joke.)

My mom also has a longtime, undocumented handyman from El Salvador, and she always told me how honest, hardworking and talented he is. In fact, the handyman's whole family has worked for my mom... and she has even talked to his wife about being her caregiver if/when the time comes... so she knows full well the overwhelming majority of immigrants from El Salvador are not MS 13. She also has very kind, Muslim neighbors from Yemen that she is hoping to sell her big house to when she downsizes. And she knows goddamn well that Obama was born in Hawaii. But she has no principles, no core values that she will defend against this evil bullshit. It's all about the Republican Party winning and the "Democrat Party" losing.

My daughter was also honored as a "Point of Light" (2nd place in the Bay Area for that year)... and that creep in the White House recently managed to trash Bush senior for that, too! (Cuz why in god's name would anyone but a loser put effort into anything that didn't personally benefit them?) So repulsive and repugnant... and where was ANY defense of those honored, like my daughter? Certainly nothing from my sister or mom... even though my mom and dad traveled to the Bay Area to see my daughter receive the award. At this point, I consider all Republicans to be despicable weasels (at best). My sister is pretty much dead to me (after she trashed the "snowflakes" at Berkeley-- my school and my daughter's!) and posted other crap on FB. I was always out of step with my family-- morally, politically, intellectually, culturally, etc..-- and now, they really do not seem worth the time or energy.
