    I straight up told him it’s ridiculous and that he needs to get off the internet…

    Which is especially crazy when I imagine I’m not the only one who was constantly told my personally developed views were influenced purely from “listening to all those liberals on the internet.”

    Confirmation bias is a helluva drug, pops. :(
