    Me as a teenager dumb lib: My dad's a smart man, he's got life figured out.

    Me as a 30-something smarter communist: Holy shit my dad literally believes black people have a crime gene in their DNA.

      Things my dad thinks are crazy:

      • Taxes
      • Non-Binary Genders
      • Religious Tolerance
      • EPA
      • Not saluting the American flag
      • Not saluting the Confederate flag
      • Climate Change, evolution, and gravity
      • Democrats (actually correct but for the wrong reasons)

      Things my dad thinks are legit:

      • Nuking any "enemy" of the USA
      • Pouring Diesel anywhere and everywhere
      • Divinity Rods
      • Anal Probing Aliens (that was actually me :owl-wink: )
      • Glenn Beck

      Me as a teenager: My dad is a smart man and he just needs to be told of new information.

      Me as a 30-year-old: Holy shit my dad refuses to read my book recommendations and gets mad at me for it.

        tbf, most academics and leftists aren't great at taking book recommendations because there are just so many damn books to read.

        I have folders and folders of pdfs that I just don't have time to read...

        that being said, I definitely don't get mad.
