Help - my parents are Trump supporters, conspiracy theory believers, and deny the accuracy of mainstream media. They’ve been in the US 25+ years, well educated, work in software. What’s going on???

So you’re saying being Trump haters is the right thing to do and you need to educate people who don’t view the same way? Talking about ignorance

This posts clearly demonstrates the polar thinking. I see shit like supporting BLM means you’re anti white or if you don’t support BLM you’re racist. It’s gotten that bad.

Are they the parents that believe in WhatsApp news? Haha

They weren’t before, but they do now... :(

Re-educate them, give them broader perspectives. It takes time for our parents sometimes, but they will get it eventually

^That’s a great point and I’ve seen that myself as well. Trump’s administration has definitely raised popularity of conspiracy theories to new heights.

Are they FLG?

Most likely antiBlack racism and wholesale internalization of the model minority myth.

Former is likely where the thread begins. There is deep distrust of blacks within several Asian communities — I have even noticed it within Muslim and Arab communities in the US. From there it’s a hop and a skip to Trump land.

Report them!

I know many Asian American citizens voting for Trump. My parents, uncles, and cousins are voting for Trump. I don't have a problem with that. But they view me challenging them in their beliefs as a personal attack on them and then I get called a snowflake. Womp womp. Not sure why they're not open to debate...
