My mom and step dad are raging alcoholics. The further they fell into alcoholism, the more their love for Trump grew.

They pop open their first Modelo (irony is dead) around 9am, at the latest.

He definitely radicalized her over the years (been married on and off for 18 years), and has started physical fights with me since I was a kid. She never really defended me, and put him over me when they got married. She is a librarian, and used to be a 7th grade English teacher. I hate that she's influencing children every day.

They can rot in Alabama.

If it's any consolation, such teachers aren't usually student-favorites. Apathetic teachers are boring, while teachers with angry energy or who use their position for powertrips (as MAGA enjoys doing) make kids uncomfortable. It's the teachers with patience and open minds that tend to be the most influential and remembered. If your mom acts the same way at work as she does at home, it's hard to imagine the kids would choose her (out of everyone) as their role model.

As a non-American, what's the irony here? Mexican beer?

If so, I think "those types" have no qualms about Mexicans existing as long as they produce slightly cheaper goods and good beer in their own country - they just want the ones in the US to all die as soon as possible.

Another bit of irony is that they likely complain about an “open border”.

Thought experiment; under what circumstances should a Mexican brewer be able to sell their sweet beverages into the United States? At the border, standing on tiptoes to hand a case of bottles over a wire fence, to receive dollars back from an American trader? Or, maybe shall we allow a system by which anyone can apply for permission to enter for trade needs…?

Oh, but that would be an open border; because then people could apply, and then just choose not to go back. Hmmm. It’s a really interesting problem!
