My dad was a racist homophobe that voted red every election because it was "the Christian thing to do." He'd constantly preach to us about how the bible said gay people go to hell and he'd always say things like "Now I'm not racist but " and then look at us children for approval of his hateful shit and we did because we were raised that way. It wasnt until all 3 of us entered our teenage years and started arguing with him about it pretty much daily and eventually him dating a woman who had a gay brother for him to start changing his mind about that stuff. Now he's super left leaning and doesnt say hateful shit anymore. Idk if he honestly had a change of heart or if he just noticed the times were changing
My dad did the exact opposite and it has absolutely trashed our relationship. Went from left leaning but generally apolitical then he voted for Bernie in 2016. After that he went full MAGA. He's not the man that raised me anymore that's for sure
I'm sorry to hear that. It really sucks when stuff like that happens. I have really good friends who have lost their mind these last few years
Wow, what a transformation. Shame he needed to be immersed in counterpoints to actually question his perspective.
I feel like so many people are like this. They might not have any actually deeply held convictions, whether hateful or woke, but will just go along with the group. And honestly, maybe that's the best some people are capable of.
