Especially when they get around other chuds.
One of my last jobs was surveying and doing site plans for new places it was cool because I got to be outside a lot, lots of the time on undeveloped lots so it was walking around in the woods.
The not cool part is my boss who I worked with pretty much all day every day was 100% fox news stereotype. Every time we got in his truck it was fox business the entire time. He'd come in I. The morning and ask if I'd heard about how Clinton personally hacked Trump tower and was going to jail or some such bullshit.
But the worst part was as we were driving around anytime he saw somebody he knew, which was pretty much constantly between the area we covered and the number of constructiin companies around, he would literally have the exact same "conversations" half a dozen times a day. Where for 20 minutes they would complain about some completely made up horseshit, then tie that into how it's all because of minorities and women, then move onto how everybody was an idiot except for them because they k ew the soluti0n was more bigotry and cruelty and everybody else was too dumb or weak to say it.
Like half their day is just regurgitating the exact things they heard on the radio or TV to each other, over and over and over again.
it seems like this is how they deal with a continuous load of cognitive dissonance
