I say this as an ex republican, about 10 years free from it. Turn off your media feeds, they are lying to you. They know you will believe it because they think you are stupid.
looks at family
they're probably right.
Yeah, looking back one of the hardest parts of being stuck in the right wing media bubble is accepting how confused I was. College and traveling helped me escape.
He's deleted his comment so idk if they still see replies. My point with unplugging is to reduce the amount constant hate and fear mongering. Right now their whole belief system is built on hate and fear, so they can't argue in good faith. Removing those daily inputs can help most people begin to escape the right wing bubble.
I hope in the coming years you have some luck turning around the people in your peer groups also. (Assuming they are still republicans)
