DEI PURPLE HAIRED LESBIAN FIRE MARSHALL!!!

That's what my dad told me.

She does not have purple hair and she's been there for 20+ years, previously holding the position of fire chief. She is well-respected by her peers.

Given the latest episodes of Knowledge Fight, sounds like your dad listens to Alex Jones.

Nope, but close. He's a Drudge Report reader and a secret Fox watcher (he'll never admit it but it's always the last channel on their TV)

Why keep it a secret? Most conservatives are proud to be fucking sheep of Fox.

Because my mom has a brain and hated Trump before he ran for office. She wasn't quiet about her opinion and she'd tell at him for watching it.

If he won't admit to Fox viewing, why would he admit to AJ listening?

A lack of tech literacy. It's not bookmarked (therefore it doesn't exist to him) and he stopped listening to the radio after Rush Limbaugh went off the air.

If it was obvious he watched Fox even though he "tried" to hide it, why do you think he could keep it secret?

He will defend anyone he likes if I say something shitty about them but he's never once defended Alex Jones. He never really bought into the extreme conspiracies like false flags or pizza gate, either.

He's a conflicted man.

Woman = DEI
Black = DEI
Queer = DEI
Piercings = DEI
Catholic = believe it or not, also DEI

It's the new term for woke. Just a general purpose catch all term for anything marginally progressive they don't like.
