I know a few people like this. They see everything through a political lens. It's exhausting.

Sorry your dad has no chill. Mine was much the same way. Maybe call it to his attention in a funny way. "You know dad, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

[-] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 73 points 1 year ago

Thanks.

Trust me, we've all mentioned it to him. He's convinced nobody likes him because he's a conservative.

[-] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 74 points 1 year ago

That’s projection.

He doesn’t like people because they aren’t conservative and he’s projecting that same feeling onto others and treats them as he thinks they would treat him. With hostility.

[-] magnusrufus@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

To be fair he might not like some people because they are black, trans, or little people regardless of if they are conservative or not.

[-] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I wonder how many trans conservatives there are, the only one I can think of is Caitlyn Jenner.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Another instance where conservative is synonymous with opportunist.

[-] EvilBit@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

The catch here is that I don’t like people who try to destroy my friends’ lives. Since the conservative platform is to destroy many of my friends’ lives, I don’t like people who follow the conservative platform. Conservatives like to treat this as bigotry when it actually isn’t. It’s intolerance of intolerance, which is not just acceptable, but necessary.

[-] Xariphon@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

Nobody likes him because he's an asshole.

The two do tend to go together though.

[-] fbbfan_ar@lemmynsfw.com 22 points 1 year ago

He's convinced nobody likes him because he's a conservative.

And for some people that would be true. Conservatism seems to carry some intrinsically hideous notions.

[-] thepianistfroggollum@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It doesn't seem to, their entire platform is based on wanting everyone who isn't a rich white male to suffer.

At this point, if you vote conservative, you're automatically a bad person.

“No dad, it’s because you’re a conservative asshole….”

Boy I’m glad my immediate family isn’t like this. Distant cousins on the other hand? There’s a reason I’m not on Facebook.

[-] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 16 points 1 year ago

He's convinced nobody likes him because he's a conservative.

That's the brainwashing speaking.

[-] saturnus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah there usually not much you can do but hope for a change. Mine had drinking problems and was much like this. Went sober finally and he still is similar politically just not insufferable and can take a joke so it’s far more pleasant to be around him.

Good luck…

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago

So if he were polite and conservative, you’d have no problem?

[-] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

Yes? I have friends with all sorts of political beliefs.
