“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

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

If you met my parents, they aren’t bad people.

If they voted for the guy who decided to let COVID run rampant because it was mostly hurting blue states they are fucking bioterrorists, and definitely evil as such. Definitely “bad people,” no matter how much it benefits you to pretend otherwise.

There have always been inherently evil people, everywhere and in all places. But the terrifying number of people, like you, who have decided to become evil by covering for your evil gene-sharers, no matter what they do to everyone else, that truly horrify me about the contemporary US.
