Agreed down the line. My parents are actually Deaf and had a tough time.

When COVID happened in March 2020, I talked to my Trump supporting cousin and she said it was being blown out of proportion because there was an election coming up.

I dismissed it and even expected it from the Trump side to say that.

But now I realize they were totally right.

It just goes to show that party politics has nothing to do with values- just does my tribe have power or not.

Glad to see there are some of us that still care about these basic American values, and willing to change our minds in defense of these values.
