    Idk if they gravitate towards it so much as the national news is heavily saturated with right-wing content and views. News channels that you wouldn't normally watch as a kid become part of your daily routine as an adult. MSNBC is, after all, supposed to be the "liberal" alternative to FOX. That's how its billed, and lots of liberals gravitate toward it for that very reason. But the longer they watch it, the more they're exposed to the right-wing hysterics that populate every major news channel.

      It sucks but it's true in my own tiny world. My folks are pretty well meaning, they're pro trans rights and gay rights and they're an interracial couple so racism does not fly under their radar.

      But then they tell me shit like "I believe Joe is a good person at heart."

      And I kinda believe that with how he accepts Hunter despite the problems. He loves his son. That's actually really cool. Lots of addicts get disowned.

      But you can't be a good person that supports Rhodesia, you can't be a good person that locks up Mandela, you can't support fucking apartheid and go to sleep every night like it's not a giant moral failure on your part.
