Responded to his shitty Biden Crackpipe meme with the :citations-needed: episode criticizing the Biden response to this absolute shitshow of racist misinformation. His initial response was “I don’t know what reality is anymore”. When I suggested it’s clearly not listening to :live-tucker-reaction: shit. He is like “but my property rights”.

    My brother has been saying my dad has been slowly moving more right recently. He’s always been conservative but I called him a Schwarzenegger Republican. Now every time I come home Fox is on.

    Last time I went home he spouted off some nonsense about “tinted windows aren’t illegal now because it’s racist”. It was so out of nowhere I firmly said “give it a rest already. I’m always hearing about this same shit over and over.” He tried to argue and I told him I don’t care. It shut him up.

    OP, not sure how you can handle it but I’ve been taking the route of making them feel stupid for caring about nonsense. It must trigger an emotional response where they feel like babies for complaining.

    You can’t battle Fox News propaganda but you can make them feel stupid for caring about inane things so they keep it to themselves.

          Iirc tinted windows have been used as an excuse to profile black drivers and do drug checks and car searches. Tinted windows = hip-hop style thugs in the mind of the chud. So they're right, it very much is racist.

            Which are not banned where he lives as far as I know. He just wanted to complain that cops can’t do whatever they want because every single car with tinted windows is going to shoot.
