    Honestly? I feel like thereā€™s a good chance he knows whatā€™s up. And I think he probably understands why most people fucking HATE his dad.

    The real question is basically whether or not heā€™s been pulled into the bro-y frat-y toxic incel shitshow. And frankly, the fact that heā€™s been conspicuously and (as far as I know) entirely silent on the political front makes me suspicious he may just be biding his time until he can get out from under his dads thumb.

      This is my thought as well. I hope he can make it out of there sooner rather than later. Go to college as far away as theyā€™ll pay for then keep going when youā€™re done.
