When I hear/read stuff like this, I need a reality check. It’s even scarier when you confront people to site specific examples and why it’s “dangerous”. The typical response of why it’s dangerous is “I’m not sure, but I was told by a trusted source”

As the documentary states, there are quite a few people in the same boat. I am, too, but my mother hasn’t backed down, but rather, doubled down. All I can say is that I’m glad to have been brought up by Seamed Street and many other CPB programs. They and my liberal education taught me critical thinking skills that…

That’s interesting. I am going to view my parents as disengaging as them moving left (they are both 60). Now that you mention it, my grandparents in their 80s who have been Republican probably forever didn’t vote for the first time in both their lives this election because they are religious and don’t trust Trump…

My mother started to show signs of this. She’d send me insane chain emails she’d get from co-workers, and during discussions would reference some right-wing talking point as if it was common knowledge. I got pretty upset the evening she referenced “death panels” as a reason she was opposed to Obamacare as I harshly…

Yeah I have some family members this has happened to. Luckily my parents have seemed to disengage from politics rather than get radicalized. Thanks for the rec.

A filmmaker explores the radical change of her once Democratic father to an angry right-wing fanatic after his immersion in talk radio and Fox News. She discovers this to be a powerful phenomenon that has divided families across the nation.

But...but...she wants to live like common people, she wants to do whatever common people do...

Thanks! Promoting this comment.

Why are we acting like this is only about her touching her 1 year old sister's vagina when she was 7 and not also about emotionally coercing her sister into sleeping in her bed and then masturbating while she sleeps? And about paying her sister in candy to give her long kisses on the lips? And about paying her sister…

I really like this blog posting on the topic of why Amanda Bynes shouldn't be a subject for entertainment: http://letsqueerthingsup.com/2014/10/16/its…

I'm very sorry that you and the others who've posted have had negative experiences with Indian men in the past. On the other hand, as an Indian man, a feminist, and a regular reader of this site, this discussion makes me wince. Fact: there are shitty and not-so-shitty people out there from every culture and creed.…
