      What I’ve found works in exposing their bias and letting you know you’ll never get an honest opinion is reversing the positions.

      When news came out in his first term that Trump was having Lou Dobbs on conference call during important meetings I asked my dad “did you hear that Obama used to have Anderson Cooper on conference calls during important meetings?” and naturally he says “of course he would, that’s pretty messed up they shouldn’t allow that kind of stuff.” then I apologized for lying and said “it was actually Lou Dobbs and Trump.” again naturally he then changes his tune “oh, well Lou Dobbs is a respectable journalist, that’s different…”

      Ok thanks dad, I now know I can never trust your opinion. It changes based on whether it’s your team or not.

    Knowing the “muh meritocracy” type of people:

    They see white skin color as a sign of competency, they see being male as a sign of competency, they see constant smiling as a sign of competency, they see wearing suits as a sign of competency, they see confidence as a sign of competency.

    Man, it is hard to find a positive outlook headline lately. I wish it was half as depressing as it is.
