My dad has been totally brainwashed by fake news CNN. We don't get FOX news here, just CNN. He drank the Kool Aid and now is super anti-Trump.

It's sad because it wasn't always this way. During Trump's campaign, we would watch the debates and laugh our asses off as he was pwning Low Energy Jeb, Little Marco and Lyin' Ted. It was a great bonding experience and we both celebrated Trump's victory over Crooked Hillary like Canada winning hockey gold at the 2010 Olympics.

But over the last year, fake news CNN has turned him against Trump. I saw him last night and he was comparing Trump to Hitler and saying he would have all his opponents killed if he could get away with it. Trump is Putin's puppet, ect. He even said that America would be in a much better spot if Hillary or Bernie were running things. I teared up. I don't even know him anymore.

What can I do? Is he a lost cause? Once someone has gone so deep as to support Bernie Sanders, can he be brought back to the light?

My dad is the same. He was laughing up the crazy shit he was saying and thought Trump would do good for America.

Now my dad is almost unbearable to be around if a news channel is on. During Thanksgiving I nearly got up and took a break because of his whining and bitching.

excellent OP

Its not just family, good people everywhere have been victimized by the MSM, walking and living in a delusional world fed to them by a device they've been conditioned to believe and trust. Its the real Walking Dead

my father in law watches the news in Brasil every chance he gets. He loves it. Over and over, all day if he could. There is a massive media monopoly in Brasil there are even less major orgs than in the US. He doesn't see that as a problem.

This reminds me that I'm going to be seeing my super-libtard cousin-in-law in a couple days. Last I saw her she said she was moving to Canada after Trump got elected.

I can't wait to ask her how far the drive was to Grandma's house.

She is very easy to fire up. Very emotional. Then my cousin spends the rest of the day trying to calm her down. It happens every year, but this year should be extra fun.

in 2 days I fly out to see my folks. My dad has been reading the paper every day for decades, and enjoys the news, thinks he is informed lol

I have a real hard time with it. Its like watching someone stabbing or poisoning themselves but you can't say or do anything about it they think its good for them.

I think there's a 2 year waiting list to see a psychiatrist if you're not suicidal and you don't eat your own poop.
What about if they eat other people's? You could call them up and say he's been stealing yours, it might speed up the waiting line

You should take your Dad out for a day of shooting guns, the biggest steak dinner in town, and whiskey and strippers. He will be ready to grab some pussies then.

On second thought I wouldn't put the poop eating thing past him.

Anyone who watches that much CNN must have a healthy appetite for shit.

would a satellite dish solve the no-fox problem? the only place anyone should see CNN is glancing at it at airports, any more exposure to it is toxic
