Sometimes I feel like a real piece of crap for being relieved that my father isn't around to have these arguments with. I'm 99% sure he would be a staunch Trump supporter if he didn't pass away several months before the 2016 election.
Not to say I don't miss the hell out of him.. but statements like "I don't remember being raised by a racist" when he'd throw around racial slurs to describe the then-current president led to a few fights that I didn't know how to reconcile. It felt like it was out of left field because I never saw such crap in my family growing up, but all of a sudden he was flooding with it because he didn't like Obama.

- refracture 6y agoDidn't say it would. My father was my best friend. He had flaws, like any of us. He was difficult to deal with when it came to politics because it could never be an 'agree to disagree' type of deal that I strive for whenever I disagree with somebody.. but we did so much together and it was really hard when we had to bury him. If he voted for Trump then so be it, I'd shake my head and get in the truck for that fishing trip he wants to take me on because that's way more important to me.
