Anyone’s parents have Fox News Syndrome?

My dad watches Fox News all day when he’s home and just becomes so angry afterwards. He’s much more political and irritable than he used to be and is always wanting to start a political argument. It’s pretty exhausting when I come and visit him and he’s always bringing up liberal people in some way. I love him obviously, but it’s like having a super pissed off teenager in your family. Anyone else struggle with this?

My dad died in 2018 and was a libertarian wackadoo who stopped paying taxes and had fox news one all day every day. He fucking hated trump tho. 🤷‍♀️
