USPOL, family, Facebook, antisemitism mention (-) 

Finally wound up unfollowing my dad on Facebook today. While I am sure he's not part of the alt-right, I got real tired of hearing him constantly parrot them in his constant political rants: Everything bad that happens is the fault of Antifa, BLM, George Soros, etc. The riots and looting, mostly by white nationalist extremists, that took place all over the country several months back in response to the extrajudicial killing of several black folk? The wicked work of the terrorists Antifa, BLM, and funded by the Jewish leader of the New World Order Soros. The attack on the federal Capital building by the far right insurgents? Those darned terrorist Antifa and their fellow BLM thugs and that damn multibillionaire Jew were behind that, infiltrating the republican ranks to make them look bad! How dare they make the almighty Trump look bad when everything he does is good and right?!

Honestly it's getting to the point where, while I'm sure he's not one of them, I'm not so sure I could pick his political beliefs out from those of any other white nationalist, like Milo or Spencer or any other Hitler worshipping nazi. It's seriously that bad. He's so deep into the cult-like worship of Trump that he just happily lets them spoonfeed him whatever conspiracy or warped viewpoint they desire. He's so blind to the rot within the conservative right that he can't see that it's poisoning his mind. As are most of the Republicans. And at this point there's likely nothing I can say or do to bring him out of it, so all I really could do was just... remove it from my feed. Maybe now I can stand to look at Facebook more often.
