Ever since the 2020 election, my dad has gotten 10x crazier. Nowadays, all he does is watch newsmax, OANN and ben shapiro. When he talks to me, its always about the deep state and how Trump won the election. The other day he mentioned that Nancy Pelosi hasn't shown herself for two days and she got arrested (the two days were Saturday/Sunday...). He hates NFL and NBA players for kneeing, yet he begs my brother and I to find him a stream for his football team. I ask my dad some far out conspiracy things and he says "could be true" and then if I ask him if Trump lost he says "no way". He believes that ANTIFA and BLM coordinated the attack on the capital. When I ask him for proof, he shows me some Facebook meme/post. When I call him out on how that's not a reliable source and show him news that contradicts the facebook things, he says fake news and the media lies. At this point I can't change his mind about anything.

He's also racist, but does not believe it. Won't say Black Lives Matter, only All Lives Matter. We had a debate a couple of months back about why education in the south is rank near the bottom and he said "the majority of them are black". He also says "the majority of black people are criminals". He's very upset that Trump got banned from Twitter as "its violates the first amendment" and then says we won't be able to go on the corner to yell "N*" anymore or else we'll get arrested. Yesterday, he went on a rant about how he can't respect black people since they sag their pants. When I tell him that these are racist statements, he responds by saying "you democrats always put people into these position and labeling, you're the racist one". He calls me racist because I am not dating a black women and says "all you do is knee in front of them when you see them".

I'm so sick and tired of this. I want my old dad back where he'd tell jokes, mess around, and generally a fun person to be around. He's very bitter and angry these days and always spewing about conspiracy theories. I've been living at home since my work is remote and saving money for a house. But, I'm ready to say f*** it, delay buying a house for a couple more years, and move out. I don't think I can't take this much longer, I see myself being more short-tempered and aggressive. It's not worth my mental health to be in a hostile environment.

Anyone else have to deal with this?

he’ll come around

Thankfully I'm not from America.

Whatever happens, I just wish you Godspeed OP. You will be alright.

ask him how any of this stuff effects him and be specific

sorry to say it but hes probably too far gone at this point

no

He going out like Windows Vista

at least he is not slipping on semen

i have. he thinks that since he immigrated here and was able to go to college and build a successful life, then anyone born in America has an advantage over him. Think's black people are lazy because they are born here and "can't amount to anything". Even though he got sponsored and adopted by a rich white family that helped him and provided him with all these opportunities. He can't relate to other people and view their struggles

America is crazy

Sorry to hear OP, hope it all works out!

how does that effect him though?

we're viet so democrats = communism

He calls me racist because I am not dating a black women and says "all you do is knee in front of them when you see them".

My hardcore republican dad isnt even down this bad

Omg, no. Someone save op.

because he has to pay taxes to help them

seeing the effect of all this right wing propaganda is doing to people is depressing man, sorry about your father but he's probably far too gone

Let that 🥭

He’s too far gone to save him.

the only answer is violence

I used to be like this back when George floyd movement started but not that bad, luckily I realized I was spending way too much time thinking about negative s*** and driving myself crazy so I stopped caring about politics significantly. Hopefully your dad can pu out of it but if he's older which im assuming he is itll def be harder for him to give up on that

For your sake its best to get some distance so you don't lash out and further damage your relationship

As for his conspiracy s***. Start keeping note of everything he is saying. Review it once a week or so to see what has been proven false.
