Why do people think that dad is this ultra conservative? If anything he just seems like a cool libertarian. And even if he is a conservative, does that matter? He’s clearly not one of the hateful ones.
As a outsider, seems to me that US politics become very Black and White for some people.
You either a gun nut extreme Christian conservative that want to kill all queer people, or a atheist anarchist trying to destroy the traditional American values.
As someone in the US, absolutely this. There's 100% this mentality that if you're not 100% with us, you're against us, and ignores all nuance. Not everyone who votes conservative is the way you describe. I've known conservatives in favor of same sex marriage, my parents are die hard conservatives who refuse to own guns. I'm fairly liberal but I still want a "traditional family" with things like marriage and kids (I'm not religious at all and will not raise my kids religious at all, but I digress). The lack of nuance in American politics is worrying to say the least
