But for the first time my mother saw actions she found horrifying and associated it with Trump.

While I long to resolve so many issues, getting rid of trump is the first step.

And my mother and my family are not catholic. I doubt she knows all that much about the whole catholic child abuse issue. She is over 80 and while active in volunteering for Habitat for Humanity and feeds the homeless 2 days a week is caught in the FOX bubble not because she watches it, but because she listens to all her friends. And her preacher.
