My girlfriends 26 yr old daughter used to be very liberal. But then she hooked up with a Trump-loving wingnut and did a 180. She now spews Fox News BS talking points. She refuses to get the Covid vaccine because "Covid is no worse than the flu and the mainstream media is lying to us." She is also pregnant with said boyfriend's kid. It's maddening. We are becoming a nation of idiots.
