I did. You were just more interested in reliving things that you are wrong about. Bottom line is that you should support your child dreams and at the very least do no harm to them. I think we both hate the Packers but I would like to believe that if our child played for them we would wear the green and yellow and even root for them when they played the Bears. #FamilyFirst
For the last 18 months you have largely perpetuated the idea that anybody in the Republican party is awful, immoral, and at times any theoretical defense of the way our country is suppose to work is a defense of Trump (at least this is what it seems like to me). Furthermore, any support or vote for Trump is completely absurd or completely unreasonable. Now some parents who donate to the Democratic party are douchebags? This is the bridge too far? You can't figure out why or how we got here?
I read your article and another (really long) one.
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story ... rat-215631 I have no idea what politico is other than it was the first article that came up when I googled his name and I didn't want to go further in searching because it was so long to read. He seems pretty moderate. I'd prefer that's how we voted moderate Democrat or moderate Republican, unfortunately that's not how it works anymore.
If this guy were a racist, bigoted, misogynist I wouldn't vote or support him, son or not. I can disapprove of somebody's values or platform and still love them - even unconditionally and thru disappointment. If he played for the Packers I'd be Spaulding green and gold with go pack bumper stickers. Family is more important than some things.
If the parents donated or vote against him solely because he is a Republican then they are douchebags. If they donate or vote against him because they don't believe in what he stands for I can't blame them. I didn't make an assumption what this is a case. I could not vote for or support somebody that would pass laws that I found unfair or would not want to abide by, family or not. I have several family members I disagree with politically. I wouldn't want their liberal or conservative agendas passed, it doesn't mean I don't love them, it doesn't mean I'm not being supportive, it doesn't mean I don't want to see them succeed.
I don't know what you think I am reliving or what I'm wrong about. I don't think you having blind loyalty for a child is wrong even if it can lead to a certain amount of misguidedness. I don't think there is always a right or wrong. Sometimes there are different opinions/choices that lead to different outcomes. This is what I believe we have lost site of here and as a country.
