My mom doesn’t want me to go to DC (50501.chat)

I’m going to Washington D.C. on April 5th with my Dad. My mom has been freaking out because she’s convinced I’ll get abducted off the street and Trump will send me to El Salvador. I believe this is very unlikely and I’m going to D.C. anyways. Though I feel really bad freaking my mom out.

Edit: I am white. I’m not worried about being abducted. I just feel bad my mom is freaking out, and I’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with family members that didn’t want them to protest.

Where do you fall on this handy "am I safe in America" chart.

Very top. Sometimes Trumpers think I’m one of them. Very low chance they’re coming after me at this stage. My mom is still scared though.
