Well I know people have broken ties with their family, but I refuse to let propagandists ruin my relationship with my family.
I hate the fact that most of the people in my family voted for Trump, but I blame the propagandists at Fox news and Newsmax. They've convinced an enormous amount of people that Trump actually cares about them and that everything around Trump is terrible because of Democrats, that any legal actions meant to actually have Trump face the consequences of his actions are completely unwarranted and "fake," and that if Democrats won any real power they'd take away everything that the common person cares about...
People like my father truly believe only criminals are being deported and no one innocent is being affected. He's not ruthless and lacking in compassion, he just drank the Kool aid and 100% believes everything fox news says that he wants to believe. I've tried to show him how they lie and bend the truth, but if it's not coming from Sean Hannity then he doesn't believe it...
I don't generally wish death on people, but if there's one group of people I'd actually go watch be put to a firing squad it's people like Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity and the chucklefucks on Newsmax. Absolute scum of the world.
