    Sorry to hear about your dad. She’s maga, but she called his shirts “Nazi shirts”?

    Also, I guess I did see one person wearing one of those in public, but I think it might have been some School of Mines student in Golden. The other college-aged people sitting with him were not wearing anything politically affiliated, so I’m not even sure it was the actual hat.

      I’d love to hear the thought process on that one, as well.

        There’s MAGA that think they aren’t fascist, and there’s MAGA that embrace the fascism. That might be the political difference between my parents.

        My mom didn’t want any of his DVDs, but I’m always down to add more movies to my media server, so I took them. Among the westerns and the war movies were some documentaries about WW2 German military leaders which I didn’t find particularly surprising or disturbing. However, there was also a copy of Triumph of the Will.

        It’s very strange for me. I loved my father, and I know he loved me. I’m pretty sure I was his favorite. I’m also the most farthest left of his children, and two of my three kids are trans.

        Complicated doesn’t even approach the same universe as my relationship with my father.
