Convert?

My dad and I had a chat yesterday about the current political climate. Now I’m a long time liberal thinker, believe in fairness and equality for everyone and am married to a trans woman. I’m basically the opposite of a conservative and always have been. My father (74) was a political science major and has been a conservative since the 70s. So yesterday we are chatting about how bad everything has gotten for the country and he told me to become a conservative because that’s what the government is and that’s who will succeed after all of the upset. Ha! Convert to being a conservative he said…my response was that I will never convert and I will fight this government to the bitter end. Has anyone else had this talk with their parents?
