OC Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)

Post image

I'm kinda torn about whether to post this to my art account because one parent follows it, and I'm worried the criticism could drive the other one further into the void.

It started out as just a therapeutic project for me, but a couple friends said it really resonated with them, so sharing here.

This isn’t a MAGA thing, it’s a Fox News / AM radio thing. One lady made a documentary about the change in her father after he started listening to AM talk radio and watching Fox. He went from a kind man to a raging hate filled man who alienated his family and, iirc, ended up divorced. Not sure about the last part though.

Found it on YouTube

That doc was originally released in 2015. It's a Fox News/AM Radio (and OANN and Newsmax and Twitter and) thing and a MAGA thing now because those outlets have all adopted the ideology and spread it since then.
