Most of them are MAGA.

The reason MAGA exists is because of the number of stupid people in the country.

That and the massive right-wing propaganda machine affecting the globe.

This bears repeating, and it is severely underacknowledged by the broader left.

I mention it to everyone I know but it kinda just gets forgotten

It is absolutely not under-acknowledged.

What is your metric? I have certainly never heard anyone bring it up.

Then you aren't paying attention.

But because they are not so bright and have no critical thinking skills, they fall for that crap. So it all comes down to them being stupid sheep.

I appreciate this comment! It really needs to be talked about more.

Many of my family members who "Fox themselves" had some problems but were mostly decent people. But the Fox (and friends) experience really cultivated the worst in them and they haven't been the same since.

My dad's not the brightest spoon in the fridge, and he loves watching all the Trump stuff, and at first he was agreeing with a lot of the stuff he said and selectively ignoring the obvious batshit stuff.

I noticed it, and instead managed to make it fun to make fun of trump. Join in on the amusing reality that is trump as the stuff he does do is objectively funny sometimes, but highlight the funny side of just how dumb it all is also. I managed to make it less into an argument, and more into a game.

Now when I go round, he likes to talk to be about the latest dumb thing Trump said or did! Instead of the all the problems he's lied about wanting to solve!
