Yeah, definitely my mother. She calls herself a "pagan socialist" but she's also into Trump. She's a virulent racist who mainly hates Latino people and the Spanish language. She's really bad. She'll scream at people to speak English if she hears any Spanish in her vicinity. She'll confront people minding their own business and will tell them to go back to Mexico, even if they're not Mexican. She's told a person from Pakistan to go back to Mexico.

She believes in a complex, bizarre religion that's a combination of Norse and Irish mythology she claims was eliminated by Christianity, which she says is the most destructive force on Earth. Most of her understanding of Norse mythology comes from the History Channel show "Vikings." Her understanding of Irish mythology seems to be more influenced by Game of Thrones than anything else. She doesn't read books, since she considers them "the words of another" and believes reading can only serve to pollute her pure mind.

She's a vocal Irish nationalist despite being American, but get this, she believes the British monarchy is the greatest force for good in the world. She wants a reunited Ireland, but under the UK because she says Britain rightfully owns Ireland. She's an American born in Chicago, by the way, and our family is descendant from Poland as far as I know.

My mother is strangely positive and understanding on LGBTQ rights. She's one of the only members of my family to support me being non-binary, for instance. And she's very positive about it and has a very firm grasp on gender and identity. I have no idea how though or where she learned any of it.

Also despite calling herself a socialist (she actually does know somewhat what a socialist is) she's deeply into Elon Musk and thinks he should be president after Trump dies. I really don't know what to call my mother other than a reactionary idiot.
