I don't even know how to begin. One, why did he not want me to see?! He knows I'm very progressive and compassionate. And two, what the heck in general? How can he buy into the fear & filth from the TV blasting extremist news all day then turn around and do that at the pumpkin patch? I'm bamboozled.

But my dad literally tried to buy a gun last year because of the 'illegals' threatening his safety (in his white privledged neighborhood). He says trans people aren't real. He told me he'd 'never' hire someone with tattoos for his company.

The pumpkin picking place was cash only. My dad said the guy was new to town, didn't realize this, and said the people were rude and told him to leave. So my dad gave him money to get pumpkins. Normal nice guy behavior of my dad, right?

I don't hear the convo and I walk away. 20 minutes later, this guy comes back and hands my dad some 'change'. I said DAD what just happened? He said, you weren't supposed to see that.

It's magic.

I can't quite figure this out either yet. Maybe I'm just used to the noise of other platforms, haha.
