Re: I just need to talk about this (more sad than ranting/angry)

I forget where I read this theory but it made sense to me - someone tried to explain why people seemed to get more conservative with age and it had to do with ageing itself. The older you get, the faster the world seems to move on without you. You're no longer the driving force of pop culture and news, so it's easy for older people to feel out of the loop, which makes them feel insecure and angry. So many people start seeing it in more black and white terms... new = bad because they can't understand it, the good old days were so much better, because they were young and in charge and understood how everything worked.

Channels like FOX prey upon those fears. OMG, white people are going to be outnumbered by brown people soon! OMG everything is so much worse because the young people are fucking it up and they're too stupid to listen to their smarter, wiser elders!

I mean... you say that's not who he is. There's a chance there's a health problem at the root of this but it sounds like your dad does have some awareness of how he sounds ("this probably makes me a nazi") but he doesn't really believe it. Maybe that IS who he is, which is just awful, but sometimes we don't know our parents as well as we think we do.

ayrt

I don't know how to explain it to someone who doesn't know him, but it really isn't. He hates Fox, he hates racism, he hates Trump, he talks about how horrible all the anti-immigrant and white supremacy in the country right now is...he was just talking about how he thinks Elizabeth Warren would be a great president but he thinks Trump's voters are too sexist to vote for her. He's just...not that person. Or at least he wasn't a couple days ago.
