the phone and called someone the “n” word and said they wanted to kill him and he was a gangster. i expressed how bad that is and how it goes against my beliefs. im supposed to go on vacation with him soon. does trump make people racist LOL like are they deeply racist or is it like… trendy? like how the fuck did this JUST happen? or has he been hiding it my entire life?

Republican here - it’s your dad being an asshole not Trump causing it. It’s probably that he’s always been like this but feels empowered to say racist shit cuz Trump is in office and they think that means the racists have won

that just confuses me because my mom is the most left leaning person in the world LOL they did divorce, but like how would she marry him even back then if he was?! idk. I guess i’m trying to give him the benefit of the doubt because im so shocked and upset. like what the hell? idk if i should go on vacation :( it’s free but idk if I want to be around that until he learns… like not all republicans are racist obviously and I just thought he wasn’t :(

The racists have literally won. racism and homophobia are 90% of the GOP’s platform and have been for the last 10+ years. Trump’a top advisor, in Trump’s own words dreams of the US population being reduced to 100 million white people. They’re neo nazis, it’s that simple.

I think you’re trying really hard to square the fact that your dad acts in a shitty way but he’s still your dad. I think how you imagined him vs how he actually is at odds and your trying make his behavior seem more justified by saying it’s bc of Trump or he’s just caught in a trend.

The fact that you would even consider compromising your morals is really weird lol maybe you’re not as different from Trump as you think

I wasn’t really. my statement of “do I compromise my morals for this” was a rhetorical question like I don’t want to. i’ve asked all my friends and they’ve said they wouldn’t know what to do because it’s family. it’s not an easy thing for me hence my entire post. i’ve cried like multiple times about this lol
