okay, as I've said, my Dad probably isn't going to vote for the guy anymore so there is no reason to continue on this thread.
This thread isn't just for your benefit.

This is probably the stupidest thing I've read on the internet all day.

He voted for Mr. 45 anyway, so the impression I have is that to some of the other users on this board, he's satan.

I would never compare DBF's father to a third-tier wrestling celebrity.

While I wasn't singling out you specifically (there are other leftist users here), at the same time, I still say I'm sorry if it seemed like I was putting words into your mouth.

You say his logic is "Trump is going to lose, so it's pointless to vote for Trump." Given that voting for Trump decides whether or not he wins, this is broken logic.

Yeah, they changed him to Hercule for the English dub because they thought somebody named "Mr Satan" on a cartoon might provoke some controversy, and the Satanic Panic was still going on.
