Yeah I'd agree on this - certain things in life we cannot change. Such as the dynamic of how a parent views their children. Especially a father who fancies themselves educated. You won't change his mind, only he can do that. Hammering / emotionally charging your points doubles down in his mind you are still the kid who he helped wipe his butt at one point.
The best I've seen done is wait for them to ask your opinion state it clearly and shut up. Only proceed if they ask more. Otherwise it is having the opposite effect sadly (as much as everyone wishes it wasn't the case).
Your dad sounds like a good father. I'd recommend leaving politics out of it between you if it's straining the relationship.
