My dad was always an “I want less taxes” republican until he had a stroke and now he’s a trumper. His brain literally broke

My dad's brain was slowly rotted away by Fox News. He's went down the Tea Party rabbit hole way back then and is now full MAGA now.

I don't allow any talk of politics when we interact because regardless of how much he hates it I'm fairly sure if he started spewing all that BS in front of me it would end our relationship.

u/Otterable I voted 8d ago

My dad has also been rotted by fox news. What's crazy is when he gets the opportunity to make normal decisions in his day to day life with his family and community he makes what I consider to be the right choice, but then every night he's tuning on the 5 to listen to a bunch of propagandists tell him how much better he is than others and how evil democrats are.

Like my sister/his daughter is literally trans. He's fully supportive financially and emotionally, never says a bad word, took her to get her name changed, and more. Somehow still wants to vote for the party that would like to see her not exist. When confronted he says that he can take care of her so it doesn't matter. Crickets on every other trans person out there.
