I have not spoken with my fascist father in 11 months. Before that I spent years trying to reverse the brain washing. My mother moved out in 2021 because of his trump isolation. He told me that was the worst day of his life, I said if only there was a way to change that. He thought I meant make my mom become a fascist too.
This sounds a lot like my dad...minus the mom moving out bit...everything in the world, he looks at through MAGA-colored glasses. When groceries were expensive under Biden, he said it was all Biden's fault. Now that it's actually Trump's fault from all the tariffs, all of a sudden grocery prices are "complicated."
Like you, I spent a lot of time trying to un-brainwash him, and eventually gave up...he's probably only got 1-2 years left, so I feel like I'm just riding it out, it's just a shame that his final years have twisted him into something I think he wouldn't have even recognized 25 years ago (it would be easier if it were dementia, but other than this MAGA cult shit, he's still pretty sharp).
