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.

Idk if it's them or me cementing my worldviews. Like my dad is a nice fun guy and an ultimate EU lib. Sometimes he will say something which is monstrous to me.

I hardly ever see my parents and just avoid any political discussion now. I feel kinda bad about it, but I just can't anymore. At most I just answer with "what if I was trans?" Or "what if I was fleeing for my life as a refugee". It mostly shuts them up because how fucked their position is on subjects like these. I'm very disappointed in pretty much everyone in my family except for 1.
