Second, if it's true, I would advise having a talk with him. He's never going to change his mind if he's not confronted with victims of who he voted for. But you need to be in an emotionally stable frame of mind to do this, otherwise it won't go well.

I advise you to write out your facts, maybe aided by an online search, to lay out to your father"
1. all the USAID victims who will die from not getting life-saving medication and food,
2. all the patients in the US who will die from having their clinical trials stopped, and all the generations who will suffer from not having life-saving research conducted at NIH and thanks to NIH grants.
3. Layoffs are one of the points, by no means the only points.
4. Immigration cruelty and legal black holes are something to talk about: it's OK to want more control over borders. It's not OK to throw people in detention with no means to call their lawyers and no paper trail for anyone to find them. Some will die in detention, and it will be hard to find them. There is wanton cruelty abuse in the new ICE processes that are antithetical to how modern societies should behave.
5. Tariffs.
6. Bailouts of Argentina.
7. Bailout of farmers.
8. etc...

Maybe a PowerPoint presentation would help.

Mine didn't. My grandpa didn't.

All this tells me is you are extremely young with a dad and living grandfather. Nobody cares.

This. It's a free country. You don't get to control other people.

Someone please inform Trump. He seems to believe that he does get to control people, and it’s only a free country as long as people do what he wants.

You’re just mad your side can’t control others. Different side of the same coin.

Are you worried your 50 year old self or spouse can’t get an abortion? Your cheap landscaper will get deported? You have to buy the 12 month prosciutto instead of the 18 month?

I think the normalization of people being kidnapped off the streets by an unaccountable law enforcement agency is against everything I was taught in the Cold War and I’m sticking by that, Vlad.

Well, Gaza cease fire. Never would have happened under Harris. Score 1 for Dad. Perhaps he just prioritized peace in the Middle East over domestic policy.

Nope.

Not everyone's dad hates women and brown people.

It's their vote. Who gives a flying f**k about what your wishes are? JFC how much of a controlling every present person are you in their lives.

God forbid they name their children Mary or Sam or something else against your wishes.

Not true. Not close.

My dad as a Barry Goldwater Republican. When it was Trump v. Clinton he didn't hesitate. While Hillary was even on his spectrum, he knew Trump was just an evil bastard, worse yet manipulated by other evil bastards, and cast his vote for Hillary.

Honestly, since anyone who supports Trump is a traitorous scourge, no. Most of us are actively disassociating with such defects. It’s just harder when they are family.

I'm real. I worried about our health with RFKJr taking away CDC workers and brining back measles, and other deadly diseases. I'm worried about the department of justice being gutted and replace with yes men/women thugs. I'm worried about the doj going after thier 'politica enemies'. I don't think people should be thrown in a jail in el salvador without due process

lI'm worried about our voting rights being curtailed and they will take away our first amendment rights to free speech.

So, no I am going to stop talking and engaging with those whi put him in office! It has nohing to do with the color of my skin nor my econimic status. We are losing our place in the world as a 'shining city'.
