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.

I suppose I'm relatively lucky. My parents are just garden-variety libs for the most part (with the exception of my dad being a staunch union man).

Kinda similar here. The truth is my dad mostly cares about his hobbies, work and family. Like sure he follows local/global politics a bit but he is 0 in touch with all that rightwing culture war bullshit and doesnt use any social media. You cant believe how thankful im for that.
