‘The Atlantic’ Gives Advice To “Deprogram” Pro-Trump Relatives On Thanksgiving; Suggests Reporting Them To FBI

A writer for ‘The Atlantic’ wrote a piece that gives readers advice on how to “deprogram” their conservative relatives. Writer Molly Jong-Fast goes on to paint conservative family members as “creepy” on top of many other horrible things.
Towards the end of the article, she even throws out the idea of reporting their relatives to the FBI. Some may think it’s a joke, but it’s something that is actually happening across the United States.
“This is your chance to deprogram them. Facebook knows its algorithm radicalizes users. This is your chance to tell your aunt that maybe the news she gets from it isn’t all that reliable. And that maybe the MAGA news network is not giving her unbiased news,” she writes .
Jong-Fast rejected the idea that Thanksgiving should be a time of peace and harmony. Instead, she thinks her readers should turn the day into an opportunity to tell their “creepy uncle” to get the vaccine.
“I’m here to tell you Thanksgiving is terrible, and if you at least spend the time trying to deprogram your niece, you won’t be bored or depressed (though you might be enraged that Fox News or Infowars has convinced her Trump can “save America” from Joe Biden’s radical agenda of giving people hearing aids and free pre-K).
“Especially when it comes to vaccines,” she continues. “You could literally save your creepy uncle’s life”
She concludes with a dogwhistle suggestion to report their family members to the authorities for their political beliefs.
“Maybe it won’t work. Maybe you’ll leave Thanksgiving dinner as divided as you were when you sat down at the table five hours and 4,000 calories ago. Or maybe you’ll plant the seed, sow just a little doubt about whatever Tucker Carlson is saying now. Maybe you’ll even change a heart or a mind. Maybe you’ll bring the temperature down just a tiny bit. Or maybe you’ll need to report a relative to the FBI ,” she added.

I just tell my dad I don’t want to hear any of his political bullshit and if that’s what he wants to talk about then take it somewhere else.
I gave thanks that my family isn’t crazy and doesn’t spend a holiday arguing about politics. Whether Nagy should have fired at halftime, after the game or this morning seemed to generate the most heated debate.
The Bears beat the worst team in the league on a last second field goal. Whoop de doo.
Lol, such a bad game. But what do expect when the NFL tosses out a turd (the lions) before the season even starts? It’s either going to be hilarious because the lions whoever else and are so bad, or boring because the lions fucking suck and it’s a low scoring suck fest or an absolute ass kicking.
It's a modern day "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" where the questions of the day determine whether your relatives are Neanderthals or not. The divide is split over whether black lives matter or not. Did Biden win the election or not. Did Trump incite the January 6th attack on the capital or not. Should everyone who can get the vaccine or not. Is Qanon full of bullshit or not.
If your relatives answered "no" to any of those questions then they've defined themselves as ignorant conservative Neanderthals completely out of touch with reality. As to whether that calls for turning them in to the FBI, that depends on whether they're trying to get the rest of your family to believe in lizard people, believe Democrats eat babies or believe that the "tree of liberty" needs watering as they fondle their AR-15 with an itchy trigger finger.
