For instance, I have an aunt who is definitely MAGA, and is flirting with Q-Anon ideas. However, she has pretty good views on the environment and animal rights. For instance, after travelling to Ecuador, she donates to some Ecuadorian land trust run by locals. However, if you start talking to her about the border or gender, she goes full Orbán.

Debating with my dad gives me such whiplash between absolutely based calls to action he actually implements to help the oppressed in our society, environmentalism, anticapitalism and the chuddiest bigotry and anticommunism ever.
