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 🙏

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.
