I feel bad for her kid but this woman can kiss my ass if she wants my pity. You did this to everybody, including your own kid, you shrew.

If I were her kid I'd never speak to her again

Because they are a convenient scapegoat to falsely attribute all your problems.
Maybe this woman should consider why her fellow Republicans similarly blame immigrants for problems and put two and two together.

That level of self-awareness gets surgically removed the instant one chooses to identify as a republican.

I think I'd rather kill myself than become a Republican, if I was forced to pick one tbh. My empathy for the common struggle of regular people working to simply live quiet lives is like a core part of what I am, I can't imagine myself without it. I'm not perfect by any means, and I've got some contradictions and biases, but like holy shit I don't know if you could cut that out of my brain without killing me in the process.

"Fuck you until it's about me, then I want special treatment but still fuck you." - Modern Republicans

Ever wonder who responds to those ads for interviews about how X policy by President X affected them? Well there you have it. This journalist found a long time Californian Republican with a trans child.

The dissonance is here:
The article doesn't mention 1) if she voted for trump 2) or his transphobic policies. I am not so sure what else is there to go by, that she “chose a leopard to eat her face.”
