My dad's always been an anti-intellectual prick but now he's a smug one having his worst impulses reinforced by assholes on the internet and his workplace.

the anti-intellectuals in my family all came about as a result of my family's intermarriage with while people and it's created a situation where the boomers and gen-xers are now more liberal than my millenial and gen-zers thanks to their white parents.

those parts of my family that never bothered w white people are all either liberal or leftists and our anti-trump conversations amongst each other during xmas about the upcoming cultural changes to my country's future was a STARK and concerning contrast to conversations i had w the maga & maga-friendly family members.

ironically, the maga-ites were consistently more vocal in extolling their latin american heritage than the rest of my family who never once brought it up; nevermind that they kept getting everything wrong.

Latinos, North Indians, and Koreans gotta be the worst maga-ites overall
