Yeah, they were the types that sided with the McCarthyism as part of the Red Scare, who publicly accused political figures that they'd "rather go to Moscow" or outright saying they are un-American.
Ironic that they'd now rather be Russian than Democrat, considering that the Russian Federation government is openly hostile to the freedom they take for granted.
(Not harping on Russian culture, just the political and geopolitical stance of the Russian Federation. I actually like Slavic culture.)
My mother was all into the satanic panic BS and Linin's words about winning the next war via education and indoctrination of youth in our schools. Dad turned out, interestingly enough, to be closeted gay when they divorced because he was also an abusive sack of shit father.
The ironic part is that he is so indoctrinated from his small hometown upbringing that he still votes Republican-only and hides the fact his business partner and co-owner of his father's ranch he inherited is also his boyfriend, or at this point, common law husband. He still hides it because the small community he lives in would probably not be very welcoming. The funny thing is that, at least before it was revealed he was hiding a boyfriend, he was hugely homophobic.
It took me literal years to deprogram, in no small part from reddit, traveling through the military, and seeing the hypocrisy of modern Christianity. It's sad that so many will never question the values they grew up with and will turn into the next generation ignoramus.
