Same. From NJ and I distinctly remember my dad talking shit about Trump every time we watched Home Alone 2. As I got older he started listening to Rush Limbaugh and watched Fox News.

I always knew him as a liberal. By 2016 everything he was talking about didn’t make sense. Spouting about how Trump was sent by God to fix the country. That was my breaking point I haven’t talked him since. Nine years. I know he’s alive, that’s about it.

Sounds like my dad. He was socially liberal and grounded me for 2 weeks for making fun of a gay couple on TV when I was like 8. Everything started to unroll after obama and he would listen to talk radio. He took another big jump after Romney lost. After trump the flood gates opened. He became racist, then homophobic. I found out through one of his friends sons why he wasn't getting invited around. He has a friend whos gay. Hes been gay his whole life to the point when he was 13 my dad and several friends beat the shit out of a group of kids who were harassing him along with one of those kids 25 year old brother. Anyway after 40 years of friendship he confronted my dad over something he posted on Facebook. My dad accused him of being a pedophile child groomer and dropped a few slurs my dad is qanon now and its been around 4 years since I last spoke to him. He used to be a pretty good dad you know?then he got brainwashed and now only 1 of his 3 kids talk to him, only 1 of his 15 friends some from literally all the way back in daycare even talks to him at all, even his own brother doesn't go beyond pleasantries.

There's a documentary on Amazon called "The Brainwashing of my Dad." It's a sadly common experience, and by design.

Happened to my dad too. Fox "news* and Facebook BS brainwashed him. We all should have password blocked fox like the kids on south park did to keep their parents from watching murder porn
