My parents and family are conservative, and yeah, they get fucking outraged and/or scared of everything. Thinking the government is going to kill then with the covid vaccine or whatever, queer people corrupting kids, and all the common stuff you hear conservatives freak out about, and so on. And this is in Norway. It's honestly frightening just how closely they follow the general conservative narratives and talking points. I see them repeat the same falsehoods I read on the internet word for word.

They really are just scared of anyone and anything, especially what other people tell them to be scared of. I don't get how it isn't extremely exhausting being like this all the time.
