how did the older posters here avoid being radicalized by Faux and AM hate radio?

100. Heck, my Dad voted for George Wallace

I couldn't believe Dad was so dense. He got even more conservative as he got older, too - if you can imagine that.

What was really annoying is that he was always registered Democratic. Of course for many years, Florida didn't have Republican primaries, so if you were not registered Democratic, you missed out on voting for a lot of local races since they were decided at the primary level.

Dad died in 2013 before Trump came along, thank goodness. He would have loved TFG. He watched the local Faux Noise channel, though Mom hated it - she said all they covered was bad news.

On the other hand, in 2016 my sister put the race to Mom : "Who do you want to vote for, the business man who has never held a public office and declared bankruptcy multiple times, or the woman who has always worked for the people's good?" Mom voted for Hillary Clinton - she was always a woman's rights person, having four daughters.
