She can’t understand why I support Trump. She said I’m not poor, stupid or a hillbilly and she didn’t raise me to be a racist. And she gets enraged when I try to explain my reasons to her and starts yelling or hangs up the phone. Hopefully we don’t have to discuss politics 🙏

He who makes hefty claims must bring the sauce. Make her state her reasoning out loud in hoping she hears how dumb it sounds. "Exactly how is DJT racist?"
This. Tell her YOU are ready to listen to her side of the story. What did Trump do or say that was racist. “He said all Mexicans are rapists!”
“Oh WOW, mom that is terrible! You are right! Let’s find that clip! I’m going to post it on Patriots.win as soon as we find that!”
(A Brazilian told me this about Bolsonaro.) He said “blah,blah,blah” . “OH! Let’s find that clip!”
I used this tactic recently with my mom. The circumstances were significantly different. But, it worked perfectly!! And, it opened the door to many new worthwhile conversations between us. Now, I better call her and tell her I love her before the day gets away from me.
I get....he refused them to live in his housing in the 80s
He hates disabled people ....look at what he said about that reporter and how he made fun of his face
He is a pedo.. look how he talked abiut his own daughter and epstein
Look at how many women credibly accused him of rape.. he cheated on his wife.. muh pussy tape
He cheated contracters in new york by not paying them for their materials and labor
Orange man bad
Blegh.
Defending him to my mom goes in and out one ear.
If the mom has high blood pressure or heart condition, I'd suggest just let it go though. It's Satan who wants us all divided and fighting w/ each other. Sometimes the child has to give in and just pray quietly his mom will come to see the truth on her own accord.
My daughter always brings up the Central Park Five fror her "Trump is racist" claim. Thanks Netflix.
What was that about, if you don't mind? Didn't find much on search.
Trump called for the death penalty for a group of black and Latino kids who were wrongly accused of a rape in Central Park. He took out a whole-page ad about it. They kids were later found to have been coerced into confessing and Trump never apologized (Trump never apologizes).

They were not wrongly accused. They were guilty.
