One my cousins used to always give me the usual lines regarding the infestation of entertainment like "it's always been political/woke", "you are uncomfortable with female leads", "you are just mad because white males aren't in everything" along with all the other stuff everyone on here has heard.
The other day he called me after trying to watch the Obi Wan show on Disney plus and apologized to me because he said he couldn't unsee or unhear everything I had been saying. His preteen kids got bored with the show after one episode and he tried to keep watching but he said that it was blatantly obvious there was an agenda and that maybe I wasn't crazy when I said there was an obsession with diversity and less white representation.
I had already cancelled my disney plus when Obi Wan premiered but when someone told me that it was basically a Leia and Reva show I wasn't surprised. I remember hearing that it was originally supposed to be a show focusing on Obi Wan and Luke but the female showrunner said she wanted to include Leia (showing how clueless she was about the lore). It really made me sad to see so called star wars fans defending it by saying "well, it never said Leia had never met Obi Wan or him and Vader hadn't fought multiple times".
There is an EU book called Kenobi that is good. It is Obi Wan watching over Luke from a distance and getting reluctantly sucked into a skirmish between the Tusken Raiders and the local farmers. At least that author understood the lore he had to work with. Honestly Obi Wan could've been a massive hit.
I'm going to try something similar with one of my family members. However, they are going to be very hard to pull in.
I think what I'll do is tell him upfront everything he thinks he knows about Trump is wrong, and let him interrogate my belfies. This is the same person who said, "there is no Leftwing movement in the US", and "Colleges are right-wing". To be honest, those are arguments from reference, so there's no point debating the label, I'm going to focus on the position and see if he can become comfortable understanding the dissident perspective, even if he disagrees with it.
It still boggles my mind how people can think nothing is left wing. Unless they think they are normal and those who disagree are lunatics
A couple reasons I think:
That said, I still don't know how pants on the head retarded you have to be to claim colleges are right wing.
