My old man thinks he's clever and has a handle both sides of things because he'll sometimes watch fox news or tune in to talk radio and make snide comments. His brain would absolutely fry if I showed him /pol/ and told him that's where he should be getting his news if he wants to have even the faintest inkling of what exists on the Right.

Alternative media sources are a completely alien concept to the Boomer. They don't realize that all the sources they rail about being Right Wing Propaganda (ie, Fox) are actually just another arm of the same media apparatus that promulgates their worldview and politics. It's why Trump is so utterly terrifying to them. They have no idea where he or people who support him came from because they're so completely unplugged from actual information and grassroots sentiment.
