overview for ceramicsky

my dad specifically has really been feeding into hypermasculine, gun-loving, "true American" MAGA nonsense. I am gay and while he has no issue with me or my partner he continues to align himself with people who do not believe in my right to exist. He didn't believe Elon did a nazi salute. He said I was listening to the liberal propaganda. Now that trump has pulled out all the stops and continues to implement project 2025, I question whether I can still be in contact with him. Even if he is not (outwardly) rooting on everything, him not condemning what is happening to me seems like he is doubling down on his beliefs.

I am drained mentally and honestly think that he will continue supporting the destruction of this country and the rights of millions all because he idealizes their "alignment" with masculinity, guns, the military, traditions, etc.

How do I approach the topic with him and tell him it's either me or these beliefs/trump? Is that selfish of me? I know some people say that this will only further the divide but honestly I feel like things now are irreperable and I should not be involved with people who turn a blind eye to fascism.

It's Saturday what have you watched this week? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

showed my friends the Lord of the Rings for the first time, albeit a couple weeks ago. We watched fellowship of the ring and they really liked it, I think. I finished season two of squid game and really liked it. And this week I get to see Mulholland Drive in theaters so I am looking forward to that!

James Hoffmann has a ceramic one and he’s pretty popular so it’s fair that someone might recognize a wooden one :)

edit: his is from loveramics

Are there any communities on Lemmy for learning languages? French specifically in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I’m hoping for something similar to /r/learnfrench. If not, how can I create one?

Lemmings living in red states, how’re you doing? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
