I turned off American TV and only watch Chinese and Korean dramas. THAT is, unbelievably and unfortunately, where there are still our early values. You can see a creep at the edges and you know that Hollywood values will EVENTUALLY get to them but, for the time being, the only good and moral television to watch isn’t from this country anymore. Chinese and Korean dramas defend the moral values we almost took for granted in the past, and regret losing in the present. It seems totally absurd, but is completely true.
As for confronting the left, I do respond to every idiotic email sent by progressive friends. Reasoning with my friends doesn’t work. Their beliefs are like a religion that is recited on NPR until they can regurgitate it like dogma. Rational people suspend reason and some topics, like CRT, become sacred and can’t even be discussed. So I give back my own list of sacred topics, top of which is Trump. No friend talks against Trump to me for any reason, ever!
There are also a lot of Russian shows on YouTube, like that, they have nothing to do with Putin or anything. But there’s certainly no faggotry on them.
