Caller about being a leftist in a rural conservative Family

TMR caller from a small town in North Dakota who comes from a conservative family talks about her challenge of reaching across the aisle. She shares her story and why Republicans have actively been a threat to her livelihood as a woman who has had reproductive health issues. She also explains that after President Jimmy Carter’s term in the ’70s, her family began to vote Republican though gun issues are the only ones they care about. The Majority Report crew discuss how they may not listen to her because she is younger and parents do not like to feel like they know less than their children and also because of misogyny.

You guys can still be close, and he can still have like latent misogynistic views towards you, which may not you know cause him to take you this seriously. No no, and that's what I'm saying I'm constantly pointing those things out to him and like last night I think I finally just oh, I just got in there I just got a crack because I told him like when I was growing up reproductive issues they had to put me on birth control my insurance wouldn't cover it when I got to college you know my mom had passed away I was paying for college I was broke. I was like well, I'm going off that medication, and in a year and a half, I was in an emergency room with a dying ovary. All I would say is: long-term project, and you know I mean the way that I've always gone about this is I just like I just keep planting seeds. You know you're coming from farmer territory you know you can't rush it plant the seed you water it you get it don't over water it you just you gotta and you just gotta wait and let it grow and make sure that you're watering it in the proper fashion, protecting it from the elements when that becomes necessary— I mean we don't need to go through the whole thing spray it with coffee depending on what's happening… It’s been this is like a 30-year project for me and I got him to admit he doesn't vote on anything besides guns and I told him I'm like if you can find any policy anything you email you tell me who your person is what their policy is why you like it it just doesn't can't do it and he's it's been weeks nothing.
