"They’re total cranks about that stuff but still very sweet so it’s very weird and uncomfortable. My aunt was telling me about the ISIS camp in a very matter of fact way, like she would be describing the weather or the Patriots game."https://luke.substack.com/p/i-hate-what-theyve-done-to-almost-39f …
Oh man, this one hits
And *any* topic can be a trapdoor. If we talk about what my really little kids are learning in their awesome schools, well, we can all fall through the floor into some shitty argument about kids being coddled by liberals blah blah blah, or how terrible the public sector is, etc.
And yes of course Fox News didn't invent the white supremacy and racism that are at the heart of America and many of our family members would've believed that shit otherwise but Fox has definitely supercharged it.
"I am also an orphan of Fox News. My mom’s brain is completely broken from it, and we have less and less to talk about it every time we see each other." https://luke.substack.com/p/i-hate-what-theyve-done-to-almost-39f …pic.twitter.com/Z4XU7SJAGK
I recently cut all ties with my mother because I’m sick of all the hate and vitriol she is constantly spewing and it’s all because of Fox News.
So familiar. And I notice a running theme of "we don't talk politics but."
After my dad died, my mom found a boyfriend, and they lived together on a memory care floor. Both were life-long Democrats, so it was shocking when they began praising DJT. An attendant had changed their TV from MSNBC to Fox News! When it was changed back, the romance was over.
Some cable companies in my area offer Fox but not MSNBC. When my mom was in rehab for 6 weeks last spring she had trouble getting roommates who insisted on Fox. She got them to change to home improvement shoes as compromise.
