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.

I started to ask what happened to the news, what is going on with the Obama to Trump shift and they look at me like I'm crazy.

I made it to 2017 with blinders on

That's awful

I hated Trump until Mueller was like ‘I got nothing boys’

Then I started questioning

Old man you live in DC?

Nah, over in Richmond.

Oh shit, Im in NOVA

I love how our democratic governor dressed up as a klansman in the 80’s and Virginia Still went blue

Like that costume was REALLY accurate

Flannagan woulda been proud of that costume
