I got a little miffed Monday when I heard about the social security administration firings. Honestly it would have just been one more thing in the burning pile of crap we call the present, but two days before I was riding to pick up my car from the shop with my dad (80 yr old) and we had a very brief interaction about cuts.
Went something like,
Dad “there’s the va, my hospital”
Me “for now, they fired a ton of people who run it, and it was already not doing well”
Dad “you watch too much CNN”
Me “I don’t watch CNN like that and it insulting you always assume I do, all cable news is propaganda. They are going to cut social security, you watch”
Dad, silence
So I text him an article on the way home Monday showing trump doing just that, firing 7000 workers from social sec.
He tells me he will block me if I don’t stop texting him stuff like that. I get home and confront him about it trying to get him to read the article. We got in a shouting match and I called him stupid and unwilling to acknowledge reality. Who thing lasted 1 minute.
He went to my sister’s house, told her he was scared of me and thought I was going to assault him.
She comes back to our house, where I pay rent, and tells me I have to leave. Says I’m being evicted and has called the police.
I tell her this is my home and she needs to go, she refuses. I try to leave and she stalks me outside. I try to go back inside and close the sliding door while reaching in the opposite direction to deadbolt it in the top left corner of the door and last minute she jams her arm in and make a very performative show of saying I broke her wrist. It’s not broken, she got a scratch from trying to force her way in.
She reported the whole thing to the police but didn’t press charges, but I might still be charged with battery by the prosecuting attorney because she submitted an audio recording of us yelling at each other.
Literally the entire time I was trying to get away from her. Even if I had closed the door with enough force to harm her, I wasn’t even looking in her direction when I did so because I was attempting to deadbolt it.
I’ve finally had a run in with MAGA cancel culture where they tried to have me arrested just because I tried to point out facts.
And just to put this on record, I never physically touched her. Never have assaulted any of my brothers or sister, but have been assaulted by all four of them multiple times in our adult lives.
I’m probably going to have to defend myself in court when the entire time I just wanted to get away from a crazy Karen who materialized behind me by surprise in my own home telling me to get out.
