Rant about MAGA dad

Long story short, I had to borrow a relatively large sum of money from my dad and his wife, and I'm still paying them off.

As I continue to come out to friends and family, I'm getting increasingly...worried? Angry? (Not sure how I feel) about coming out to my dad. I don't want to hide who I am, but he posts just some awful stuff on social media. Stuff like "idc if you're gay until you're shoving it down my throat" and "kids don't think about sex or sexuality and being gay unless they are groomed by adults", "funny how so many people are all of a sudden gay...hmm, thanks libs!" (And worse)

It's odd because my dad, while always being a conservative, has had gay friends and relatives and no issues with them. Idk if it's recent MAGA-cult bullshit or if he's trying to be an internet troll (my brother thinks so).

However, if my dad truly feels this way, I don't want be around it, and I especially don't want my child around it. I can't fully cut him off until I'm out of debt, as I'm afraid they'll retaliate and force me out of our verbal agreement payment plan (yeah, dumb on me) and take me to small claims court out of pettiness.

We aren't really a "talk about it" family, and until I'm out of debt I don't want to risk it. I guess I'm still feeling a bit trapped and needed an outlet. ✌️
