    I love my dad but I don’t engage with him seriously about politics anymore. Specific facts don’t matter, he only cares about “the big picture”…so instead of of arguing, I give him the even bigger picture: none of this shit matters. It’s all a distraction while they rob us blind.

      The important part is that people in a democracy have to be held responsible. If and when the fascists of this world are finally taken down, we need to make the people pay who put them in power.

          You can let him feel them now. Join the counter movement and learn how to help rid the world from fascism through talking, protesting, writing. Those are the weapons of a democracy.
