After my parents retired and had a lot more time to be home and just have Fox News on all the time in the background they defo moved more to the right. They can’t defend their positions without resorting to fox news talking points or “all policies are the same” or “you just have to protect yourself from the government”.
My sister and I are deviated that we’ve lost them to propaganda.
Nah it’s not. I’ve been living with chronic back pain every day for 20 years and it hasn’t made me cranky. I have definitely lost some patience with blatant stupidity and what other people think, but my default interaction mode is ‘be chill and get along with everyone’.
I’ve been living with chronic back pain for years as well. And I definitely get short sometimes when I’m in pain. It makes me tired and cranky sometimes and takes its toll. I have asked my family to remind me when I’m acting like a “grumpy old man”.
Sure, in bad moments I get short-tempered like anyone else in pain, I more meant generally speaking. I’m not cranky all the time by any means, even though I hurt all the time.
Some of this is because they’re living with pain. Your body breaks down as you get older. Some of it is Fox News brainwashing.
Don’t forget decades of interacting with toxic aerosols like lead oxide.
Keep in mind that 51% of voters 65 and older voted for Trump. That percentage for 18- to 29-year-olds is 47%. That gap is very small.
