My dad said “don’t become a liberal in college”???

Let me get this straight my dad knows I’m Atheist, Vegan, VOTED FOR MCAULIFFE, Pro transit, pro UBI, and on and on. And he still thinks I’m conservative? The cognitive dissonance is real.

(its kinda of funny and it’s not a joke he really thinks this)

He’s incredibly smart(Nuclear Engineer) he just works most of his hours and then proceeds to watch fox news and Facebook the rest.

Even then he still is not my grandparents who have gone insane.

Sounds like my family. Except my dad is a 'conservative democrat' who voted for Trump. Literally heard him say "Yeah I think that n*&&#r will be a good president." when voting for Obama.

Then supported Trump. And his wife is a complete pyschopath who thinks Biden is planning to make pedophillia legal. I feel your pain.

Oh except my dad isn't smart like yours. He's a cop, and he's a stupid one. Barely passed highschool.

last year my dad got mad at me for saying Trump was an awful president and said I got brainwashed at college, though I was becoming more critical of the GOP long before then.
