So, here in a few days I’ll be going to niagara falls with my mom. Apparently my dad is in an uproar because we’ll be going across the rainbow bridge. Named in 1939 for the rainbows made from the waterfall. Bigots gonna bigot, even when it has nothing to do with anything.

If he says anything about it, make sure you tell him how fucking stupid he sounds.

Doesn't matter if it's your dad.

Make them uncomfortable to be this stupid.

[–] KnitWit@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Oh that’s the plan. I’ll be seeing him a few days later and am gonna say rainbow bridge so many goddamn times I’ll forget what it actually means. Once he brings it up I’ll be sure to tell him the actual reasoning for the name.

My dad started falling down the hole with Rush Limbaugh in the late 90s. Downward spiral into right wing shithole media ever since. Now he's old, single for decades, been hospitalized for over a month, and is indicating he's sad that I don't talk to him often anymore and that he's lonely.

It's a long game, but sometimes you have to distance yourself from someone behaving awfully before they can realize the error of their ways. It can literally take decades.

Yeah, mine got on the Rush pipeline back in the day too. My mom is still with him but apparently he has either gotten way worse since the election or she has finally just gotten tired of hearing it. Me and him have a similar relationship to you and yours with the whole ‘why don’t we speak more’, but won’t listen to me when I explain why.

but won’t listen to me when I explain why.

Yeah, this is the running theme.

If someone won't listen to you, the only sane thing to do is stop talking to them.

Every time I think of where Rush Limbaugh is now, bells chime in my mind 🔔

Lol. Bravely protecting the city from rainbows. This should help rekindle tourism

The stupidity of fascism on full display.

It's not stupid if it works. You know his base loves these as fighting wokeness. It's kinda very important to them.

If I were a resident of Orlando I would wonder if the cops are only guarding that crosswalk. I'm sure other nearby ones could have their hue adjusted. They can't guard every crosswalk in the city.

Why stop at crosswalks? Figure out where the cops live and paint their sidewalk rainbow while they're out guarding the crosswalk.
