My own father passed away in 2015, before the rise of Trump. I had my difficulties with him because he was a religious, bigoted, fox-watching republican, but I'm kind of glad he wasn't around for it to get this bad. I believe he would have supported the orange menace, and we would have had that much more to argue about. (Or NOT talk about.)

I loved him, but geez!
