When you allow far right attitudes to grow ... they are like weeds that start appearing everywhere.

My general rule of thumb is .... if one's ideals and beliefs start affecting the lives of others ... then their beliefs are not about them, they believe in wanting to control the lives of others.

Ya this is the goal. People only remember snippets of headlines so if you can pump out a lot of them with your agenda, that’s all anyone will believe regardless of it’s truth. I’m sorry you had to deal with someone who found a headline they really liked and tethered themselves to it.

I’ve had this issue with my whole immediate family with the exception of my grandmother. They genuinely live in a completely separate world where left wingers are predatory and steal kids and force them to get transition surgery (?!?!?!). Some peoples lives depend on holding up this illusion.
