My dad is a big Trump supporter for some reason even though we aren't white. Whenever this comes up he just says fake news, the liberal media is lying to you and to go look at some real news and learn the truth. He also recently told me I'm a dumbass for going to college when he was the one who forced me to go college when I told him I didn't want to when I was a senior in high school.

Well he once posted a meme on fb of Trump shaking Reagan's hand captioned something like "the greatest president meets the 2nd greatest president."

No, I wasn't. I witnessed his many arguments with SArm back in the day. But my CE browsing is inversely related to my social life, and part of why I'm on so much now is COVID.

Back in the day he seemed like an irate guy in his 30s with a poor understanding of race related issues. From what I remember I wouldn't have called him a racist, but I think I was around when he was demodded by not in the period after. From the way people talk it seems he became more extreme once he wasn't a mod.

Who knows (he's pretty beta), but my mom would go ballistic.

Yes, but I don't discuss politics with my dad. He's probably among the top 5 dumbest people I know, independent of his political leanings. If I want to know his political opinions, I can tune into fox news and essentially get his beliefs verbatim. I've heard him use words he can barely pronounce and I know he doesn't understand once in a while because he's copying then from a fox news anchor. There is essentially no reason to discuss politics with somebody who doesn't even understand the words he is regurgitating.

Well a) he still thinks the flu kills more people in a year than covid has killed so far in the US and b) he probably agrees with Trump about the riots.

Seriously hopefully you can encourage him to lose some weight. That's only going to make things worse for him as he gets older.

Hmm... probably that he wants the US to reduce its presence in the Middle East. He worked in the air force a long time and now works as a logistics planner in the air force. He tells me a lot that it kinda sucks for the younger guys in the air force now since you're deployed way more than back in his day. His concern there is the welfare of the soldiers he has to run logistics for, which involves deployments.

TopKekBro posted...

I did in hs and he liked her. Fun fact: my first girlfriend was the daughter of a Mexican immigrant, born in El Paso, and did not have health insurance until the ACA.

But my dad isn't a racist. The air force bases we lived in were very diverse, and prior to moving to Texas most of my friends were black anyway (which he knew, naturally). He's not "woke" (for instance he calls my mom oriental and me half oriental lol), but any faux pas is not malicious.

My dad would have a way bigger issue if I dated a white girl with visible tattoos than a black girl.

He's been trying for like 15 years. Prior to his hernia surgery, he was losing some weight, but of course the recovery was a big setback.

The problem is that he lacks self control and is in denial about his portion sizes. He makes visits to fast food places during work, and his "snacks" are much larger than he believes and it's very difficult to convince him otherwise. He's a very defensive person.

Edit: Also, as you can probably surmise, my mother is a very toxic person. She does not encourage with my dad, only criticize, and fails to see how this might contribute to his eating. "I tell him to lose weight!" she'll reply, "not get more fat!" My mother has a lot of brain power but she doesn't understand people at all.

Well he's one of those "should have come here legally" types, and he doesn't believe tax payer money should benefit non citizens/ people without visas. He would rather make it easier to immigrate legally than loosen border control (which leads to a influx of criminals, according to Trump).

Another thing to note is that Kasich was his favorite in the early Republican primaries. He switched to team Trump once the GOP consolidated behind him.

My view on something racist differs from people on here's something racist. I have a much more strict idea on what racism is, so you'll need to be specific. I.E racism, imo, is when a person feels inherent racial superiority over another race or races, and/or feels a race of people are inferior to their own. I Just don't see that in most people.

Well your idea of racist doesnt work.

if someone thinks x race are neither superior or inferior, I just plain hate them and I do bad stuff to them every time I cant is a good example of text book racism outside of your definition

If you hate something it's probably born of ignorance or fear. If you are treating a race of people as inferior humans because of your hate, then that is indeed racism.

I don't like to always think the worst of people, so I still feel that most people do not think that way.

Do you still try to reach out to him using logic and reasoning? Does he go to the MAGA rallies?

I lost my sibling and best friend to the cult. Him and Trump both carry a lot of similar white nationalist ideals such as white superiority and making things "the way they used to be". When the national guard rolled into my city and the police declared a 2pm curfew my brother told me I was a disinformation agent helping to cover up for hilary clinton. That was when I knew I had to cut all contact.

Eh, there's no reason to.

Frankly, appealing to either of my parents with reasoned argument is not fruitful. I can't blame them: they were not educated for critical thinking. And I'm not going to change that when he's closer to 70 than 60 lol. He is who he is and I accept that.

No, he mostly just posts Trump memes and complains about liberals once in a while.

The pandemic itself no, but it actually being a real danger to many Americans yes. He does but basically everywhere he goes requires it, she my mom is something of a hypochondriac so she bags is about masks. He does not fear for his life.

I was working through Avatar:TLA with my girlfriend prior to the pandemic. She had never seen it and I was reliving a childhood show. We finished book 2.
