Progressive Politics

It bugs me that he laughs at his parents instead of talking to them. It's clear that his dad doesn't know what a fascist is. His only reference is his cult leader saying that opposing fascism is wrong (which is fucking insane). It feels like the next logical question after his dad denying that Mussolini was a fascist would be to ask who is a fascist, and if he can't answer that, ask why we even have the word fascist if there never has been one. His dad is on camera and participating, but I assume when pressed like this he's likely to just leave. If that happens, he's not leaving because he was insulted or laughed at, he's leaving because he's frustrated that he can't reconcile a simple logical question with his understanding of the situation. Where it goes from there is all on the dad, but I have to believe that some degree of people live inside their bubble and have never been forced to consider that they're being lied to. All that being said, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it stop voting against its own interests.
