Great insight, thanks for sharing. Sometimes I think people like your Dad still think the Republican party is the party it used to be 50 years ago vs the party of today. They seem to be in a little bit of denial, or conservative media has made it seem like being Republican to them means they are a good person, and since they are good people it means the R party is de-facto good. I dunno, just morning thoughts.
My dad passed away several years ago. I do wonder what he would make of death star and what the R party has become. However, he did listen to Limbaugh and asked me is I did. You can imagine my reply. He wanted to know why not and I had to explain how I was 180 degrees from those views.
My dad died 5 years ago and was very concerned with world affairs. Twitched in his seat all of the time. He was a republican but politics were never spoken. I often wonder what he would think about what was going on now.
I agree with your morning thoughts about media making R’s feel like they are the good guys. And their party. They would certainly be the good guys compared to evil Democrat pedophiles who drink children’s blood. Not a high bar, though.
Along with conservative media, I fault self-described Christian churches for their focus on personal salvation and prosperity. Relatively little attention to what Jesus taught about how to be a good person.
My parents and some family and family friends, I fear are stuck in that thinking too…these are not bad people, they are not without compassion…but to talk to them, it’s like they are stuck in a time warp and can’t see the reality of their party today.
