Genuinely, do I even really have to explain why I hate Trump? Is it not ovious enough? He is one of the most evil people ever known and there is NO SUCH THING as a "good trump supporter". THEY'RE ALL BAD. He is openly a misogynist and talks about women so poorly. He talks about them like they're s-x objects and says that women deserve punishment if they get abortions. He's been accused of SA by DOZENS, literally DOZENS of women. He even sexualises his own daughter and says that he would date her if they weren't related. Furthermore, he's cheated on all of his wives.

And what else? He is racist. Straight up, he is literally just racist. AND transphobic. He also openly admires dictators and said that he wants to become one himself. He said that he wants an army just like (Germany mustache guy)'s. He has a friend called Nicholas Fuentes who also has openly said that he admires (Germany mustache guy), is a Holocaust denier and said, I quote, "your body, my choice" and "there will never be a female president". Trump has unfair tax policies that only benefit rich people and fuck over the middle and lower class. I struggle to explain this and why it upsets me to my parents because my parents don't care about politics or understand me as a person. Even if they did they wouldn't have the same views as me. They're conservative and I'm alternative.

So my problem is that my Mother says that all politicians are narcissists. I tried to reason with her and explain that politicians might just be people who stand for something and want to make change. She said that all politicians are power hungry and all they want is money and fame. I told her that I was passionate about politics and I cared about it a lot. She said that I shouldn't care about politics. I tested her standards and told her "what if I want to work in politics? Does that make ME a narcissist? Or does it not apply to me because I'm your child?" My Mum said that I would never make it as a politician because I'm too soft.

My Dad on the other hand, has bought a tesla, for multiple reasons. Firstly because they're good for the environment, and also because he liked the car's design/functions and he liked that he didn't have to pay for gas. I have begged my parents multiple times to not take me anywhere in that car (we have other cars). My Dad asked me to explain why and I told him that it went against my beliefs to go in the car. The company of tesla is partially owned by Elon Musk who is the richest man in the world and oh my God he is an ASSHOLE. He has so much fucking money that he doesn't even need and once he literally prevented money from being donated to a charity for children's cancer. He is the definition of a priviledged asshole. And of course he's a fucking Trump supporter. My parents believe that I'm being unreasonable but I don't think they understand how much it truly upsets me. At this point, it's not even political opinions, it's a political fact. I don't support Donald or Elon, I never have, and I never will. It is not justifiable to support them.

I need your advice because my Mum has continuously forced me to get in that car and take me places with it, like school, my art club, to town or literally just anywhere. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of people seeing me get out of it at school. It's embarassing. My parents don't understand. My Dad said that if I don't want to get in the tesla then I can just stop going to art club and other places. He asked me to explain why I hated the tesla and I told him it was difficult to explain.

What if people at my school think I'm a trump supporter? Look, I'm always one who doesn't care what other people think, but that's only if I'M BEING AUTHENTIC AND MY TRUE SELF. That tesla is not me, it's not my thing and it never will be. I hate going in that car. I hate its size, I hate its design, I hate its company, I hate everything about it. I'm sick of worrying that my friends and classmates think I'm a priviledged asshole. I wish my parents had a sense of reality and would just understand this.

Please, if you have any kind of solution, tell me. And don't say something like "Oh just try explaining to your parents how you feel and why you're uncomfortbale". DUDE I'VE TRIED THAT 9892423 TIMESSS. THEY WON'T LISTEN. THEY DON'T GET IT.

Who can I call? Who can I reach out to? Who can I ask for help? WTF DO I DO???!?!

Personally I think the reasoning I gave was more than enough but just to set things neat I'm going to give more AND ellaborate. The least ellaborated reasons are at the very end.

THE WAY HE TREATED HIS CHILD. He has a trans daughter called Vivian who, by now, has completely cut him off and lived away from him because, as she explained, she no longer wants to be associated with him. Elon constantly deadnamed his child, said that she is not a girl, said that she has "been killed by the woke mind virus", etc. When Vivian was a child, she was pressured by her father to act less feminine and deepen her voice. He is literally transphobic, and thinks that being called "cisgender" is a slur or offence. Elon said that he's going to pull out of business in California because he disagrees with the way trans youth is being protected.

HE LIED TO GET RICH AND FAMOUS. He started his first company with money from his Dad and his rich friends. He sold it for 22 million dollars to a bigger company that was just trying to squash all competition and then he got even more money. His online banking startup had a security flaw that was so bad you could transfer funds from anyone else with just an account number. He got fired because he was financially ruining the company but he still made 180 million dollars when it sold. He wasn't the one who found Tesla, be bought into it. He became CEO then started a media campaign to get loans and investments. Someone said they would invest if they got a department in energy loans, so he lied and claimed that that had happened. Then he applied for the department of energy loans and put their involvement on that application. He gained 451 million dollars from the government for lying. Now, Tesla makes money in an interesting way, selling carbon credits. The company's carbon emissions are capped and Tesla reduces emissions so they earn a lot of credits. They sell them to the companies that go over. The few quaters that Tesla was profitable were mostly thanks to this. When Elon tweeted, "Funding secured. Tesla going private at 420 dollars", that was a LIE, and it inflated the stock price of Tesla. Now he's being sued for 248 billion dollars. He says he's going to "save the planet" and "save humanity", while he exploits people as well as the system. Elon has gained fame, which he has used to gain more money and THEN gain fame.

HE FIRED WORKERS FOR UNIONISING.

HE VIOLATED LABOUR LAWS.

HE SAID THAT COVID-19 WAS SELF-ISOLATION FASCISM. HE PROMOTED A NON-FDA APPROVED USE OF (A GAS I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF) IN KILLING THE VIRUS, EXCEPT IT ACTUALLY CAUSED HEART RHYTHM PROBLEMS.

TESLA'S WORKING CONDITIONS ARE EXTREMELY BRUTAL. HE HAS NOT ONLY ADULT WORKERS BUT ALSO CHILD WORKERS, WITH SOME CHILD DEATHS.

It was about time we revisited these!
