He has no one else to blame other than himself for where he went, in the cult of the tRUMP body snatchers. And anything you say or do, won't go anywhere, his brain is diseased by the tRUMP cult disease.

Move on, perhaps fight your father's fascism and / or tRUMP fascination w/ efforts of your own (like this article to the DU universe), get others to join us, and fight against this scourge.

Thanks for sharing your story w/ us.
