My guess is Dad was waiting for the right person to validate some very prejudice beliefs.
What you are saying is this:
Couldn't hear the endless barrage of republican dog whistles. Too subtle for his mind to capture.
Heard the shrill, blunt whistle loud and clear.
Because everything this orange asshole is saying directly, is what most previous republicans have been implying for decades.
They've been incredibly successful when they've been subtle, too.
For example - calling the war on minorities "the war on drugs" and filling it with "refer madness" propaganda. They've gotten the taxpayer to foot the gigantic bill for decades now.
Social media broke peoples' brains, that fucking algorithm is tuned to keep users anxious for unnaturally prolonged periods of time.
They were warned they were the product, not the customer. They didn't listen, they were too busy paying attention to what the algorithm was throwing their way.
This feels like you've hit the nail on the head!! I just can't believe I didn't see the signs growing up. 😮💨 But there's nothing i could do anyway. So hopefully i am better off without him in my life (10 yrs so far).
