I said "Any democrats on my facebook might as well remove me as their friend now." My dad commented.. (he never comments on any of my other posts, he commented on this minutes after posting). He said "If that's how you feel you might as well go ahead and remove me." I replied "I'm not going to remove you but I did hide your posts, I don't understand how you were in the army and people died for our freedoms and you're voting to take them away. You don't have any real knowledge about what's going on and you only listen to the fake news." (He has dish and only watches the main stream news channels.) He replied, "You watch fake news, you're just a bunch of sore losers." That was exactly what that dumbass CNN news anchor said during Trump's conference last night, thus reinforcing how he only watches fake news and listens to their narratives.

He didn't have to reply to my post at all. He could have tried to deescalate the situation but instead he hardened his heart and stuck his chest out. So I blocked him. Not done talking to him, we don't have the greatest relationship anyway. But I am going to take a break for a while from him.

I made the post because I had recently added a handful of girls and different people and I didn't know where they stood. I knew my dad was a democrat a long time ago.

I also had a phone call like a year ago where my dad was drunk and was screaming into the phone at me about his hatred from Donald Trump. Since then I have been with him many times and left politics out of the conversation but today he had to comment on my post.

My dad is stuck on thinking that Democrats are for the poor and needy and Republicans are only for the rich.

It is your choice, of course. But...I am assuming your dad is somewhere in his 50's or 60's. Hopefully, he has good health. But you never know about such things.

I lost a dear friend of over forty years due to my support of President Trump. He died before any reconciliation was possible. I have some regret that I did not lie and let him think he converted me.

You never know how much time someone has.

oh yeah That's what I was saying that I wont stop talking to him. Hes a bad father and we rarely talk anyway. I always have to initiate the convo. And I still will text and call and visit him. He will probably get a text for the holidays, maybe a call. Not a visit for months from now.
