Well my mom sadly doesn’t have a lot else going on in her life

CNN is spinning their coverage so hard.

as if were in a washing machine?>

Like I said shes worked up into a proper rage about it

But its directed solely at orange man bad. So Gary J doesn’t even really compute. And you can make the same points at the dinner table

If it’s not too late, give that a try. Might be a little lie everyone can live with

If you’re wearing a #maga hat it might be hard to suddenly switch over to LP believably

😂

Probably...

What a state we are in where people have to lie in the holidays just to get through them in peace

Can't even ask basic questions about your personal issues with how you feel the news portrays facts.

Even questing the source of facts is considered heresy. Like actual heresy.

I tried to show my dad the covington kids long form footage

Wasn’t interested

NPR had already told him all he cared to know

Ridiculous

And they like to say we're the irrational ones 🤔

What’s funny is my Dad is an old school dem so all this woke shit is anathema to him

Yeah the Covington story is so weird.

Can you convince him to listen to any other source of news and get back to you with what he thinks and why it is wrong / right?

Nothing further right than David Brooks

Tim Pool?

Hmmm

My dad is 70 so youtube is definitely a ‘newfangled gizmo all the kids watch these days’

Im not sure if a guy in a beanie telling the news would fly. I could give it a shot though

💔

If he hates woke shit you might be able to sell him on "this guy agrees with you and is a Dem"

Though I still wonder whether Tim is on the right and deliberately acting like a gateway......

Lol

Tim's very left wing, he's just being hounded by his old contacts

*or is he*

I bet he has a MAGA hat that he tries on in private

I’m probably not going to convert either of them. I’m just happy to settle for saying what I want to say without making my mom cry at thanksgiving

"Maybe I should finally come out... but no, I can do more get this way..."

That really sucks, dude, I hate that for you

I think old man has it worse by the sound of it

Yeah.

All I have is my father in law and he's an old Filipino man who gives no shits

He just wants us to have a baby

My parents don’t mind otherwise only thing I can’t do is explicitly maga

I'm an old NPR Listener and somewhere in 2015/2016 me and like my entire DC family split.
