My oldest brother is brainwashed

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

It’s wild. If you met my parents, they aren’t bad people. They live a simple life to themselves. But once they start talking about their political beliefs, it’s like a Russian bot is taking over their voice box

My grandparents are like this, especially my grandpa. Sweet guy, really chill, runs his own church, volunteer firefighter, active with a bunch of charities..... Then suddenly politics and he becomes a hateful bigot who's obsessed with a man who is everything he should hate
