    “My grandpa voted republican and I will too! It doesn’t matter who, if they’re republican, they’ve got my vote. Can’t have the blacks moving close to me, ya know? Might steal my chickens” - them, probably. Lots of low-effort voters voting republican cause that’s what folks 'round here do, ya know?

      When I still tried to reason with my father, he would exclaim that he cannot break from the views of his father. This happened whenever answering one of my questions would trap him in acknowledging reality. He acted like it was disrespectful of his parents. He always doubles down upon feeling cognitive dissonance. It hurts my heart.
