The Parson family is coping, like everyone else who isn’t a fascist—pardon, a "Patriot"—with the fall of democracy in their home state. Lost jobs, healthcare, surveilled by neighbors—it’s tough all over. But unlike everyone else, the Parsons have Alisha Firewind, a therapeutic, taxidermy mule head hanging in their living room who helps them sing their struggles.
