So, just a few things about Rush Limbaugh. I grew up in a Conservative military household, so everyday while I homeschooled my mom and I would watch his show. I was young and impressionable, I was already getting jealous of other girls and women, so this was a perfect outlet. 1/?
Soon I was calling my mom and sister "feminazis" everytime they didn't do my bidding. My mom soon realized why this was and soon we were watching cartoons for lunch instead. Yeah, she wasn't perfect, but she wasn't gonna put up with that bullshit. 2/?
Soon, I saw that it was women and girls who had my back, who included me, saw me as a girl, kindness like that kept me alive. Years later, just recently, the tailor at my work listened to Limbaugh every day for lunch and it triggered the hell out of me. 3/?
I told him it bothered me, and he, a Mexican American, said, "Just yell at him, it's what I do, I listen to the enemy so I know what they're up to, but it helps to yell at him too." So every day we would just yell at that horrible man together, and yeah, it helped. 4/?
I don't really feel any particular thing about his death, not mad, not happy, certainly not sad...just another soul passing on and I hope it learns kindness and empathy. But no matter how many vile minds find their way into our reality,we will always be stronger through kindness
He came really close once to making me a hateful person, and I will never give anyone that power again
