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
I keep seeing people say stuff like this about their relatives and its very sad
Like these niggas like Murdoch, the Koch brothers, Zuckerberg, etc. are really f***ing up families lives with these echo chambers and conspiracy theories for their own selfish gain
IDK how this ends
it’s dark s***
these brainworms turning regular ass people into radical right-wing extremists
s***s a cult breh
Oh my f***ing god same. Last week I bet my dad $200 that trump lost the election. And my dad is currently stalking up ammo like a mf
A good amount of Viet immigrants are overtly right wing, this Viet restaurant and market center I used to go to before the pandemic was full of Trump flags during the election
i heard it’s due to trump being “tough on china” (he literally d***rode xi jinping before starting a random ass trade war that hurt america more than china) and disinfo targeting asian communities getting around on social media
people living in whole ass different realities due to the disinfo hitting facebook and s***
it’s terrifying to watch regular people fall into these rabbit holes, and these people worshipping a con man like trump as a demi-god and turning into foot soldiers for this man who doesn’t give a f*** about them
do whats right for your mental. your dad is out of control and you dont need to be surrounding yourself with craziness

check my post history, but i made a bet with my dad on thanksgiving that biden was going to win. two weeks ago we doubled it lmao
Thankfully I'm not from America.
Whatever happens, I just wish you Godspeed OP. You will be alright.
Funny thing is I'm not from America either but I know someone like OPs dad all the way in South Africa. There's a whole lot of white people in S.A who sympathize with Trump and far right ideologies
on the alternate end since 2016 and especially in 2020 i've been radicalized but towards the left.
mid 50s
He’s too far gone tbh.
I know you want YOUR DAD back but that’s just not who he is. Who he is today is who he always has been. 50 year olds don’t develop the type of views he has of the world over night. Honestly Idk that you should even waste your time....

might also be a case of like cuba where all the rich planation owners got rightfully kicked the f*** out by castro and now they come here and vote for republicans lol

You think this won’t come to our shores? It’s already here. Propaganda works
I had the same issue and had to son the f*** out of my dad over it
Basically told him he’d never see me or my brothers again if he kept saying obnoxious racist s*** around us
Seemed to make a big difference tbh
The fact that there's probably thousands of people exactly like your dad right now is frightening
Definitely millions

We don't have armed militias wanting to storm the capital
I feel you, these social media echo chambers people are saying itt aren’t limited to alt right groups, you got a lot of religious people of different religious backgrounds being led astray
how far left
moreso in a way that i have a deep hatred for the right where i didn’t before, all perpetuated by what happened. but i was young and naive before.
Sounds like a f***ing scumbag tbh. hope he can sort out his bullshit
situations like these are very tough to handle. best you can do is love your dad the only way you know how and find ways to respectfully tell him you’d rather not hear his views.
it’s obvious he doesn’t like what you have to hear and you sound grown enough to be able to say “listen agree to disagree but don’t bring that to me”
look i’m black but i don’t ur dad is a nazi. he’s lost and i’m not sure if he can come back tho. some days it feels like my dad is lost too in his own conspiracies and what not. but i still love that man for raising and taking care of me. i’ve learned to understand why he’s slipped out of reality and although it doesn’t excuse a lot of the bullshit, it makes it easier on my conscience.
don’t make excuses for him, but that’s his life. you gotta let him live it. hopefully he’ll learn better. he still got time. if he don’t, then that’s not on you bro.
keep your head up, it’s gonna be ight
