My mom no-joke says that she is scared of the “Venezuelan gangs” that she reads and hears about all the time on the news. She says that she even gets scared whenever she hears a noise at night because of this. I even try to tell her that the media is trying to get her scared by blasting this stuff and that undocumented immigrants actually commit less crimes on average. Whatever I say, it all goes over her head.
The media has successfully tricked her into being scared of the evil scary brown people. It’s both very funny and very sad at the same time.
Few days ago my mom reposted a innocent looking christmas post… from a anti-gay christo-fascist NGO. The founder was a literal klan member, and a few years ago they had to fire one of their execs who was a child molester.
Like she’s my mom and I love her but I wouldn’t get in the way if she was hauled off to a reeducation gulag.
