Jen Senko produced a movie
—The Brainwashing of My Dad
—about losing her own father to Fox “News”;
Her father—a totally normal Midwestern guy—began watching Fox “News” when he retired,
and within a year had become withdrawn, bitter, angry, and filled with hate.
🔹Jen and her family staged an intervention 🔹and locked Fox out of Dad’s TV with the child lock option built into her cable system;
within a few months, back to watching normal TV news like CNN, MSNBC, and the BBC,
👉Dad made a full recovery from the temporary mental illness Murdoch’s infamous hate machine had thrown him into.👈

⭐️Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is America’s intervention ⭐️against the mind poison that Trump, Fox “News,” and right-wing hate radio have infected our nation with.

🔸He’s a normal guy, who joined the Army National Guard right out of high school at 17, rising to the rank of Commander Sergeant Major and becoming a top advocate for America’s veterans during his decade in Congress.
🔸He used the G.I. bill to go to college, getting his master’s degree and going on to teach high school social studies. He coached his school’s football team, taking it to the state championships for the first time ever.
🔸He smiles. His students love him, as does his family. He’s a normal guy. He’s the father everybody who grew up in a dysfunctional family wishes they had. He’s the grandpa everybody who’s lost one to Fox “News” wishes could sit down with their own and set him straight.
🔸He carved butter at the state fair. He helped start his school’s first gay-straight alliance back in the 1990s when homophobic hate was still widely accepted; he said the coach doing so would be a powerful statement of support. He loves his country, his community, his family, and his nation.
♦️No purchased bone-spur X-rays for Tim Walz; he embodies the very definition of patriotism that I grew up with in the Midwest. He reminds me of my own dad, who joined the Army at 17 to go fight Nazis in World War II, an echo of the past that most Americans recognize.
🔥His contrast with Trump’s infidelities, con jobs, and constant angry bitterness is a sunlight-like disinfectant for our body politic. He shows up J.D. Vance—with his creepy obsessions with women’s genitals and birth rates and fealty to his billionaire patrons—for the weird guy that he is. He even highlights jokes about Vance, saying: “I can’t wait to debate the guy. That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
