Deep Down the Rabbit Hole

T, Colorado

Growing up as a millennial from the 90s it's been a wild ride trying to figure out why my parents never accepted or even tried to make the effort to hear what is going on the other side of aisle. Being raised with the internet and by the internet is a double edged sword. You have access to all of the information in the world but for some reason the entire boomer generation decided to get stabbed by the sword instead.

I came across this documentary because I was researching what could have possibly led to Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and all these other outlets causing massive polarization into what is now the Trump Cult. It didn't make any sense until I watched this documentary.

Following Rush's death I had a thought... does my dad know who Rush Limbaugh is? Sure as heck he knew exactly who he was and completely dove into the anger and fear peddling. I hope someone can figure out a way to deprogram the older generations from all this hate because it's getting real old.

Thanks for the great documentary. I hope some day I'll get my parents to understand the viewpoints of the younger generations. Until then I guess I'll be keeping to myself.
