This was my dad. He was always right leaning but then Trump came along and he went die hard political full on Trumpet.

He’s one of the smartest people I know and watching him get more involved and more and more angry was terrifying.

I’m sorry about your dad, truly.

Someone posted this elsewhere, and I’m adding it for visibility because it’s an important watch for people in situations like yours:

*The Brainwashing of My Dad on freevee, Pluto, Roku, and Prime].

It helps to understand what’s happening, gives some support, and some tips to wean our elders out of right-wing extremism. It’s quite good and potentially helpful.
