About me:
I am a grad student & a former conservative Republican. In the last 3 years, I have deconstructed my beliefs on evangelical Christianity, politics, & dating (Hey, I’m single.)
So those are the things that I tweet about most often.

🧵To those frustrated over friends & family who still are Pro-Trump, etc.
I voted for DJT twice, though I was never MAGA. I was convinced 1/6 wasn’t a big deal, but I had a friend gently & consistently disagree. It was because of him that I eventually came to see the truth. +

There are tons of loud voices out there in the political realm.
Be different. Be straightforward, calm, & not pushy. Don’t go on & on. Just show confidence in what you’re saying.
I’m just talking of what convinced me, & completely changed my political view.

I agree. I’ve felt very little anger toward the woman my ex-h cheated with. He’s the one who made vows to me, not her.
Do I respect the fact she cheated with a married man? No. But 95% of my anger was directed toward him.

Evangelical Christian culture has been so inculcated with conservative politics for so long that people aren’t even aware how corrupted the culture is. And most of them are surrounded by other evangelicals who see everything the same way. They can’t see the forest for the trees.

There’s underlying tone here that is uncaring IMO.
I tried to tell my son that it was important not to spoil others’ fun.
My POV is this: If something was important to me as a parent, would I want someone else to spoil it? No. So I taught him not to say anything if possible.
