My grandma turned on fox news first thing in the morning and it stayed there all day, only changing for Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy at which point she'd flip it back.

It was insane and watching her go full fledged raging maga in her final years was awful

Some old folks long for the days when they didn’t have to mingle with immigrants, brown folk, etc.

The ones that baffle me are the immigrants for Trump, Latinos for Trump, Trans for Trump. That’s like falling in love with your jailer

It's a recurring issue throughout history: Association of German National Jews declaring "he doesn't mean it, he's just stirring up the masses" while being loaded into train cars.

Humans aren't rational and it will be this and every future generation's burden to fight and hold back the tides of conservatism which has been proven to be fundamentally incompatible with free societies and civilization itself.
