I've been having the same conversation with my kids for weeks now.
"Daddy, look, it's that car you hate."
"Daddy, we saw that car you hate."
"Daddy, that car you hate just drove by."
Finally today I was like, "Can you please stop calling it that? It's not that I hate it. It's just poorly made. And it looks like it was designed by someone who... doesn't know how to design things. Because it was. And I think we can all agree about the ethical ramifications of buying a car from an avowed Nazi." So I mean I guess maybe I do hate it, but it certainly gives away my political beliefs when they bring up that car I hate in mixed company.
Sad state of affairs that you don't want to make public that you're against nazis
I think you're totally misreading their point
I just don't need my six-year-old talking about it to everyone. I'm in Texas. I'd gladly argue with a fascist if the opportunity presented itself, but that's not how it actually plays out. It just makes it seem like I rant to my kids.
I know and understand. It's just sad opposition to fascism isn't more widespread. Should be a no-brainer
And none of these people who for some reason you're worried about ... ?thinking you rant to your kids? have anything their kids say "oh that's that X that dad hates"? I don't believe that you'd be like the only dad with something you dislike that your kids picked up on. Maybe theirs is a sports team or idk Miracle Whip...
Do car preferences really matter that much? I remember Ford vs Chevy vs Foreign from the 80s and probably earlier - brand or model hate isn't that new or special where I grew up. Is Texas that different?
