A friend of mine has trouble talking to his dad about politics. This is not an uncommon problem, nor is having an elderly white dad who voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. However, what’s interesting to me is the reason for his dad’s political convictions: he believes Donald Trump was sent here by God to usher in the Apocalypse — The End Times, Judgement Day, Armageddon with the horsemen and the Seven Seals and that sheep that has like 7 eyes and 7 horns, etc.. Furthermore, his dad feels it’s the best course of action to let the perceived instigator of The Great Teardown serve a second term in office, because… well, that’s just what he thinks. Which is why my friend has a hard time talking to his dad about politics. It’s a circle, see.
I’ve never thought about the shoes in that descriptive of a manner. It really helps articulate exactly how ominous it feels.
This was helpful encouragement today, J.
Please keep on writing, Jessie! I love it so much!
