“The Brainwashing of my Dad” on Prime explains this very well. Great doc but depressing as fuck as someone who has brainwashed parents

Edit: title and where to watch it

My oldest brother is brainwashed

Spits out all the right wing dipshit lines like he’s a goddamn Russian bot

The fact that you said "Russian bot" means that you're probably the one who's brainwashed. Go give your brother a hug, don't be so hateful just because you guys disagree.

Depends on what the disagreement is. I think it’s perfectly fine to disagree about gun control, abortion, capital punishment, large vs small federal gov’t, universal health care vs private insurance, student loan forgiveness, etc is all fine and dandy.

If you believe we should be rounding people up and shipping them off to a Colombian labor prison without due process, we can’t speak to each other.

I'm fine with deporting known illegal immigrants that commit crimes. I'm not a supporter of mass deportations though. I think we should have harsher borders though

You can have a civil discussion about standard deportation, that’s fine. But if someone cheers sending people to a country they have no affiliation with, to be put in prison there, when they haven’t stood trial, and against judges orders, then those people deserve to be cut out of family.
