It's sad your dad wasn't there for you untill recently, some parents just aren't the people we want or need them to be.

Like you say bide your time, you don't have to spend time with him to hear his views if you don't want, if he can't be civil walk away to your room and don't engage. You can't change him but you don't have to make yourself miserable listening to him either.
