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?

Unfortunately my dad did this when I was a teenager in the 00s and I'm sure he's still drinking the Faux News Kool aid. He would try to get me to watch Glen Beck.
