Yeah my dad is quite the chud too. I still love him though, but it's hard to connect with someone who doesn't live in the same plane of reality as you. With the fascists he gets his news from, they always start with a grain of truth. So at least we were both able to talk shit about the military industrial complex the other day. But for him, he thinks it's just a matter of voting in the right guy to "drain the swamp" and make things "constitutional" again. For me, as a straight up communist, I don't even think our settler colonial genocidal slave state even has a right to exist. But I think he'd have a shit fit if he knew I was actually communist lol.

It's really sad because I can see the ways his programming has harmed himself and our family, and mostly himself, but I don't know if he'll ever be able to see that.
