A while ago I discovered that my home town newspaper made their entire archive searchable online. For fun I decided to search for my family to see if anyone had been in the papers.
The only one I found was my dad in a city council meeting public comment session arguing against fluoridation of the water supply and saying it was a communist plot.
Yep. That's my dad. I once found a box of John Birch society leaflets in our attic. If it wasn't for the fact that operating anything more complex than a light switch is effectively beyond him, he'd be up to his scalp in q-anon bullshit.
As it is, the tv never changes from fox news.
