Today I did it. I tried one last time to get through to him. He’s a Jew. I showed him a verse from the bible (Leviticus 19:33) that says to relate to a foreigner like one of your own, as we were foreigners in egypt. He doesn’t care, tried to make up semantics about why It doesn’t mean that.
I showed him pictures of the Everglades Concentration Camp and how they’re selling merchandise, and how this is what the Nazis started with. He called me a hysterical lefty and told me “you must be the most pleasant person in the room and know everything”.
I blocked him after that. It crushes me to block one of the pillars of my life from my childhood, but I can’t associate with a fucking hypocrite or a fucking nazi supporter. He’s 60, when they cut medicare for him, I hope my sister is ready to go bankrupt paying for his medical care, because he voted for this, not me.
Hey OP, dad here. I’m really sorry to hear about this. It would break my heart to be divided from my sons. I hope you’re OK.
It sounds like your father is trapped in his own mind, which is also being flooded with propaganda.
It can take extreme circumstances for some people to wake up from their delusions. Those extreme circumstances are approaching for your father and its a shame he cannot wake up sooner.
When the time comes, and he seeks your forgiveness, be sure its genuine but give it freely. Anything less will only harm you both further.
