Dad Called to Warn Me to Not Discuss Politics… Immediately Brought Up Politics

I (40f) went to my dad’s (68m) for Thanksgiving. He called me a couple hours before dinner to warn me that his gf’s family are all “big Trumpers” and that he can’t promise they won’t try to hurt my feelings about the election.

I said “That’s okay, I’m tough and my feelings are not capable of being hurt.”

He said “Just don’t bring up politics.”

I agreed, knowing this was a somewhat silly request because it’s not something I volunteer to discuss and I don’t engage in arguments about it with people I barely know.

5 minutes after arriving, my dad called me a woke liberal, made jokes about pronouns, and announced that he was surprised I showed up to a gathering of conservatives. Nobody else there engaged at all. I rolled my eyes and said “Remember when you called me and told me not to discuss politics today?”

There really wasn’t any escalation or fireworks. It’s just exhausting lol.
