My Son was a Republican, Now He's a Socialist. Thank You, Jesus Christ Son of God.

When the new year began, my son was a school sophomore going into his junior year. He was a student body officer, and an honor roll student. I was so proud of him. He was my golden child, and I gave him anything he wanted because I thought he was so special. I took him to church every week, and he even served as an usher.<br><br>But even though he was a good kid, he believed a lot of conservative things. He believed in "pull yourself up by your bootstraps," "work hard and you'll be rich." He hated poor people, and the homeless. He didn't like black people very much, and he was reinstated after being suspended for a week for calling a black student a racial slur. He had to write a sincere apology letter. I was ashamed of him for that, but I forgave him and let him do his punishment without complaint.<br><br>But then the pandemic happened, and he got sent home from school. He had nothing to do, and he was so bored. He played video games, and watched a lot of YouTube. Then he started to watch different types of videos, like podcasts, and documentaries. I didn't know what he was watching, but I noticed he was acting out. He didn't want to do his schoolwork, and he got lazy.<br><br>When his report card came, it wasn't good. His grades were slipping, and he had failed a few classes. I was disappointed in him, and I scolded him. I took away his phone, and made him promise to do better. He said he would.<br><br>But even though he was grounded, he was still watching videos. That's when he discovered communism. He started watching videos of Chomsky and Marx. He read the communist manifesto. And he learned about socialism. And he started to change. First, he started to get lazy. He didn't want to do his schoolwork, and he didn't want to go to church. I thought maybe he was possessed by a demon, so I prayed for him every night.<br><br>Then he started to get mouthy. He would say things under his breath, and he would get angry when I scolded him. I thought maybe he was bipolar, so I took him to see a doctor. They said he was fine. They said he was probably just going through puberty.<br><br>But then he started to talk about the poor. He said the government should help them. He said the government should give everyone free food and housing. He said the government should give everyone free college. And he said healthcare should be free for everyone. He even said we should defund the police.<br><br>But he didn't stop. He started to get even more extreme. He started to say racist things about white people. He said white people were evil. He said we should give reparations to black people. He said we should abolish prisons.<br><br>And then he started to talk about the environment. He said the government should regulate corporations. He said corporations should get in trouble if they polluted the environment. He said we should abolish the stock market.<br><br>And then he started to talk about workers. He said workers should get paid more. He said workers should get benefits. He said workers should get better working conditions.<br><br>So I took him to see a priest. The priest said he needed an exorcism. He said my son was possessed by Satan. So I took him to get an exorcism.<br><br>They tied my son to a table, and the priest started praying. My son started to scream. He started to bleed. He started to foam at the mouth.<br><br>But then something unexpected happened. My son got up and ran away. He started to run down the street, and he didn't stop. I chased after him, but he was too fast. He ran to the nearest park, and he hid behind a bush.<br><br>I was so worried. I thought my son was possessed by a demon. I prayed for him every day. And then something unexpected happened. My son came home.<br><br>And he was different. His eyes were black. His skin was gray. And he was smiling. He said he was happy. He said he was at peace.<br><br>And then he told me something that gave me chills. "Mom," he said, "I saw Satan. And Satan said he was proud of me. He said I was a good Christian. And he gave me a gift. He gave me the spirit of Christ."<br><br>And then my son touched my forehead. And I felt something unexpected. I felt a warmth. I felt a love. I felt a peace.<br><br>And then I started to change. I started to believe in God more. I started to believe in Satan more. I started to read the Bible more. I started to pray more.<br><br>And then I started to see things. I started to see demons. I started to see angels. I started to see God. I started to see Satan.<br><br>And then I knew. I knew my son was still possessed. I knew my son was still evil.<br><br>So I took him back to the priest. But the priest said something unexpected. "Your son is not possessed," he said. "Your son is just changing. Your son is becoming a socialist."<br><br>I was stunned. I was shocked. I was appalled.<br><br>But then something unexpected happened. I started to change. I started to believe in socialism. I started to read about socialism. I started to learn about socialism.<br><br>And then I saw. I saw that socialism was good. I saw that socialism was kind. I saw that socialism was fair.<br><br>So I started to change. I started to believe. I started to teach.<br><br>And now. Now my son and I are socialists. We are proud. We are happy. We are free.<br><br>Thank you, Jesus Christ son of God. Thank you for giving me the spirit of socialism. Thank you for giving my son the spirit of socialism.<br><br>We are eternally grateful. We will love you forever.
