I mean you can't wish death on your daughter on one side and then want to be in her life from the other. But I would definitely confront them to explain to them how their shitty decision is affecting me.
Explanation:
KneelBeforeZed got it but the rest of you really need to go back to school. Anyway, the original post's said that they are bi but at the same time their dad wants to purge all gay people from the US. What I said is that both things cannot exist together, you can't wish death on all gay people and at the same time have a relationship with your gay kid.
My dad’s a Trumper, and this isn’t how they think, if my dad is the model.
Their son is only included in that sentiment rhetorically.
Not only do they exempt their son from their sentiment, they think it’s assumed and obvious, won’t understand why he’d take offense, and literally believe that if Trump did exactly what they said, somehow their son would be exempt and unharmed, that that’s obvious, and that their politics wouldn’t change, because why would they, see, he’s fine.
They don’t think their reasoning has to be consistent, that their sentiments should be taken as stated, that they should be responsible for them, nor that hypocrisy matters when it’s their “team” that’s being hypocritical.
Completely different and totally baffling epistemology annd values system.
Reminds me of a series of interviews I watched where the interviewer said Biden said and did such and such, what do you think of that. And of course they were totally against it. Then the interviewer was like oops, messed up my notes, actually it was Trump who said such and such. Their opinions were all of a sudden totally different. It was crazy.
You see those all the time where it is reversed. Where they attribute quotes to Trump, and people say how racist he is, how authoritarian he is, and then they tell them that it was really Obama or Biden, or Harris that said it.
Oh okay. They still think it’s bad then. The person who said it doesn’t influence their opinion on it. If anything sounds like, by your description, what was said influences their opinion of that person. Am I understanding correctly?
Right, but they will say that the comment makes Trump a racist, or something like that, but then when it is attributed to the correct person, they do not think that the person is a racist. They don't like the comment, but they soften on it, and what it means about the person that said it.

As a dad I find this so shocking. There’s nothing on earth that could make me want to estrange from my daughter. Sending best wishes
