    This. But I feel it’s a problem for me. I have a brother who votes Conservative. And I just have a hard time with it because the party’s platforms aren’t actually in his and his family’s interests, but I think as a white man he feels they speak to him and he likes the simplicity (eg, Fuck Trudeau, immigrants are raising the cost of living). After years of listening to Joe Rogan, it’s predictable probably. But I have a hard time relating to him. I need to think about how to approach our next conversation. Because I think he’s so dumb, and it riles me up (!!!) because this is democracy, not just his shitty taste in podcasts (ie, JR). /ventover

      And the conservatives offer answers for complex problems that is clear, simple, and wrong.
