I always hear about people lamenting that they lost their boomer parents to Fox News or Facebook or whatever, but I'm a boomer parent who lost a son to Rogan. He's always quoting absolute nonsense he heard on that show about Kamala or liberals. It's so sad - he's a pretty smart guy.
That must be crushing. My brother is going down this path after moving to the south. I know it weighs heavily on my parents and I can’t imagine it.
I almost went down that path myself with the libertarian party before the tea party came to being. This is the brother I was closest to growing up. I never understood how siblings could drift so apart throughout life. I really hope we don’t have the same fate.
