AITA – issues with Dad/politics

Dad Slammed for Telling Teen They Should 'Be Over' His Affair - Newsweek

Growing up, I was a daddy‘s girl, and we have always been very close, but he has changed a lot as he has gotten older. He is a big MAGA supporter, our values and views do not align. We have butted heads many times over politics.
Last year he moved in with me, my husband, and our two children. I had a really hard time making that decision and really didn’t want him to move in because of these things. I really thought that he would see how things played out and realize that he was fooled, or that I could change his mind. That has not happened.
At this point, I know he will never change. I hold a lot of resentment because of what he did to our family and how he treated our mother when I was younger. My mother is also a Venezuelan and immigrant. I am the only one on that side of the family who was born here in the United States. I am scared for them and to sit here and watch him support everything that is happening is very hurtful to me. He’s also DL racist and misogynistic. He doesn’t respect anything that comes out of my mouth, and I have to ask my husband to address him, and then he will listen. He’s a slob and my house constantly smells like cigarettes, even though he smokes outside. He’s just driving me crazy.
He no longer talks to me much about politics and avoids any discussions, but I know how he feels. At this point, I am uncomfortable in my own home and feel so much resentment and tension just being around him every day. He is in his early 70s he still works, and he can take care of himself.
AITA if I tell him that he needs to leave?
