“My dad gave me a Rush Limbaugh book to read, and three pages in I realized we were just wired completely differently. I lost my dad to Fox News twenty years ago. He failed 10th grade, and I’m a research chemist — yet somehow I’m the idiot in his eyes. It’s wild living in a world where the people who used to copy my homework think they’re the ones who know everything now. Honestly, it feels like we’re doomed…”

“My dad used to switch off Rush Limbaugh whenever I walked into the room — clearly embarrassed — but once I was an adult and finally heard Limbaugh myself, I realized my father wasn’t just politically extreme, he was… well, not very bright. Our relationship has been rocky ever since. It really faded over the last few years, and now that I have a daughter, I don’t want him around.”
