Unfortunately, my father is a huge Trump supporter, In spite of everything, and continues to spam his Facebook feed with bizarre conspiracy theory links and insulting pictures.
It was only twelve years ago that my dad considered voting for Kerry, even though he's always been a Republican (I've always been a Democrat). Back then, he was pro gay rights and equal rights. Taught me a lot about equality.
His turn towards conservative madness happened slowly over time since 2008, and I have no idea what's going on in his brain anymore. In person, he still has rational discussions, but when online, he latches onto any bizarre news article he can find.
I was hoping the events of the past week and the poll numbers would cause him to back down a bit, but he hasn't. I'm not only looking forward to the upcoming election as a Democrat, but as the son of a 57 year old Republican who really needs to lower his blood pressure.
Just finished watching the presidents speech in Cleveland. He talked about the bizarre conspiracy theories that were thrown at him and Hillary (they created ISIS, personally!), and how Republican members of Congress don't discourage members of their party from believing nonsense. If they do lose a lot of ground this year, I can only hope that they actually do try and change for the better a bit, instead of sinking further into the ground.
