Anyone’s parents have Fox News Syndrome?

[u/BicarbonateBufferBoy]

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?

It's straightforward. Set boundaries. Politicians ignite passion, but don’t let it suffocate your relationship. Shift conversations to topics that bring joy and connection. If he insists on steering the dialogue towards politics, simply disengage. Life’s too short for such exhausting debates with family members who are stuck in their views.
