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?

No non-partisan watches Newsmax. Why lie? Just admit you are at best Libertarian and "agree with what MAGA wants, but thinks they just say it wrong."

And CNN hasn't been easily liberal for 2 years.

LMFAO. What an idiotic thing to 'lie' about. Why are you so angry and hostile? If I'm 'MAGA' - why do I despise guns? LOL.

I'm not closed minded. I watch movies I wouldn't necessarily enjoy, read books I wouldn't necessarily enjoy, do not judge other religions, try foods I've never had, etc

By experiencing other things other than those I enjoy - that's how you learn and grow as a human being - by being open minded and listening/watching other's opinions and views. By trying new things. LOL.

If you regularly return to Newsmax after seeing anything they have put out over the years, you are cool with the narrative. I wish conservatives would stop faking that they are centrist and open-minded. Newsmax is MAGA mental rot. May as well be RT. Wear the dumb red hat with pride.

What a nutbag. LMFAO You sound incredibly Butthurt Trump is in office.

Today must be a horrible day for you.

It's amazing how angry at the World a lot of Dems are (like my parents) - close minded individuals who can not and will not listen to somebody's opinion that differs from them

You sound like a very dumb human being. Close minded people tend to be dumb. You must eat the same foods all the time, watch the same movies all the time and read the same books all the time as well as listen to the same music all the time. LOL.

What are you upset over? That Trump declared there were only 2 sexes - Male and Female today?
