Really nice article, thank you so much.
I think we have to fight this stuff with aggressive mockery. I tell my brother I can't discuss events with him because when things go bad for Bush, all he hears about on Fox is missing white women. Call them on it when they start spouting Rush talking points. We need a catchy acronym - something like RWPV - Right Wing Propoganda Victim. Okay, thats not catchy, but you get the idea. Name it, box it up, make it embarrassing.
As a self absorbed drug addled boomer, I had these holiday interrupting fights about Viet Nam, but, as with your family, there was enough love that we got over them. (And yes, I am still a commie-pinko, thank you very much)
