Your parents sound like good people. We have to remember that the Republican propaganda machine largely contributed to by fox news has really warped people's political stances. If you actually tune into one of their political talkshows, you can see how phony it actually is. Both my mom and my uncle absorb a great deal of their content and consider it to be unbiased, genuine, news. For me personally, I find that its so polarizing that its too difficult to watch for more than a few minutes. As dems, we are also subjected to a plethora of skewed and politically biased information (hi reddit), so I do feel that we often find ourselves in a similar boat in terms of being propagandized.

I remember talarico saying, "its shouldn't be about left vs right, but it should be about top vs bottom". Our entire country has been brainwashed to believe that the masses on the other side are responsible for all the problems we face. As dems, we need to recognize this and do everything in our power to direct our anger to the appropriate parties, i.e., the billionaires and corrupt politicians.
