I went out to dinner the other night with a family friend, and he spent the entire dinner talking about some right wing conspiracies. I feel like my brain is rotting oml. Does anyone else have to sit through conversations like this?

    What do they like about Trump?

      They agree with him on a lot. For example, my Dad says that Biden “let in all the illegals” who “came here to steal everything from the US citizens,” and that “Under Trump, those lazy illegals couldn’t come here.” He also consumes straight-up bourgeois propaganda like “Богатый папа, бедный папа” constantly and has tried to force me to watch it as well (I refused, obviously).

      My mom is somewhat better. She at least recognizes that both Trump and Biden are idiots, and that what my dad watches is propaganda, she just listens to my dad too much and so she thinks Trump is “at least better than Biden”. I’ve been explaining to her why this isn’t the case and that both are equally useless, and she seems to be slowly realizing that.

          Just running that title through deepl was enough to tell me that it’s blatant bourgeois propaganda. It’s sounds like prageru for Russian boomers.

            If it’s what I think it is, it’s actually American book, by one Robert Kiyosaki (spelling may be incorrect). It’s… Not good.

              Yes, that’s what it is, but he was watching YouTube videos of people reading it in Russian, so I wasn’t aware it was in English.
