(129 posts)I live in NJ and my sis in law blames everything on Biden -- crime, economy, Illegals, fentanyl. The democrats are ruining this country, she posts on her FB status. She refuses to get COVID boosters, because she has enough "immunities." Crime in NYC is out of control because of democratic policies, she says. Like others, she watches only Fux News. She is bothered by the fact that I refuse to allow her to visit us until, unless she gets her boosters. She thinks liberals are elites. Her husband (my brother) died suddenly some months after COVID, but finding her dead husband lying on has back staring at the ceiling is not enough to convince her about the importance of masks and vaccines.
My (other) brother, now in MO, thinks that Fux News is the "truth". All other stations are the "radical left." (I told him to watch PBS News Hour if he wants real "balance". He blames immigrants for the rapid spread of COVID. He hopes that California has an earthquake and falls off into the Pacific ocean. He thinks the blue states have had more COVID cases than red states and more deaths. There are some very impressive graphs the show the opposite.
