SAME omg I'd always refuse to watch it, same with Donuts For Benny
I mean, honestly it wasn't all that bad. At least we don't have any open Trumpies on here. Because it's really hard to explain anything to them…
I should know. That's kinda my family in a nutshell.of course there's no trumpies, we're either gen z or maybe millennials
and i couldn't ask for anything better lmaoThere's at least three conservatives that I can think of off the top of my head
Me. Who else?
Who knows. I mean, real talk? I used to be pretty conservative because of my family and I have one word: indoctrination.
Explain.

Explain.
you're just likely to grow up with similar views to the ones often expressed around you
Well indoctrination is different, no?

My family would only feed me the "facts" they wanted to feed me, and consume the media they wanted to consume. They discuss politics around young kids in the family who can't understand yet and blindly repeat what they say, shit talk family members who disagree, and shut down younger family members who lean more liberal. They also repeatedly say things like "liberals are stupid," "BLM is racist," and also will try to corner you into saying you agree with what they say, even when you don't. It leaves no room for free thought or opposition, and it also often targets young and vulnerable family members. Hell, I've even been directly told who to vote for, and I'm far from alone in that.
And it's a trend in southern culture at least. Most staunch conservatives I know- especially the ones who are conservative to the point of being disgusting people (racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.) learned the behaviors and beliefs from their parents and were taught that was the only way to think.
It's very different from your family simply shaping the way you think. You obviously naturally pick up ideas from people you respect.
Also keep in mind, Dom, conservatism where I live and where you live may look a bit different. I live in a Gay Panic state, a state that effectively tried to ban all abortion about a year ago, and people openly fly a flag that hasn't been in use since 2001 (our old state flag that has the confederate flag on it! Wow!).
you're right, thats different. this is brainwashing

Holy shit that's exactly what my parents did/do all the fucking time. They actively try to control what I read and watch so that everything I'm exposed to is only their conservative bullshit. I get in trouble for watching or reading anything queer and I just. Ahdhdggdgsgdv

My parents do the same. There's a difference between passing down family beliefs and straight up brainwashing/indoctrination. Our parents are undoubtedly practicing the latter. Mine limit and control the information I get, and punish me if I express any ideas contrary to theirs. I could get in trouble for asking the wrong questions or pointing out certain "cherrypicked" facts. They're constantly bad mouthing the deMoCrATs and talking about the horrible social structures the liberals want to implant (which are all being realized under republican rule and capitalism… but we don't need to exhibit all that cognitive dissonance now).
God SAME. My parents are always bitching about the democrats and insulting them so much that my NINE YEAR OLD brother mimics their words too, and it's just. So toxic and scary to me that all of my brothers just blindly accept what my parents say. All of them do, and it terrifies me bc eventually I'm gonna come out to them, and I don't know what will happen. I don't know if my parents will cut me off, and if they do, will my brothers do the same? It just terrifies me, and then my parents are like "tHe qUeErS aRe bRaInWaShInG oUr kIdS" like no, you are, fuckers
