    In any case talking in this way to kids is basically indoctrination as they don’t have the resources to fully understand.

    A dad should teach them universal values such as understanding and compassion and when they’ll be adult they can choose for their own. The problem for these people is that if you teach compassion to your children it’s unlikely they’ll turn out to be Maga as their parent.

        Shitty people raise shitty people.

        That’s where the introspection and emotional work (and therapy) we should all be doing as adults comes in. To unlearn the (childhood/generational) traumas that we picked up from our parents, friends, and society and try to become better people.

        But that shit is hard and uncomfortable to actually do, thought terminating cliches and bigotry are easy, so here we are.
