How to get my family to stop watching Fox News?

[Neosutra]

Ok, so Im all for people believing what they want (even if I think they are retarded for it). However my family that lives in Memphis has been getting more and more apocalypic in their conversations. From alarmist facebook posts about how Obama is destroying america on a nearly daily basis, to panic attacks about the Dems having majority rule in the Senate with 60 seats. The religious right isnt just annoyed about being out of power, they are damn well flipping the fuck out.

To add to this, these people (my family included) are getting fed daily propaganda feeds from Fox basically telling them to prepare for the rapture, because Obama is the antichrist.

How the hell do I pry my famlily and friends away from this shit? It is starting to get scary.

Im just a damned liberal atheist trying to destory america, so they sure as hell wont listen to me.

Situation is hopeless, then. Give up now.

If you're determined to keep slamming your head into the brick wall, though, tell them that they aren't allowed to discuss their views with you since they don't want to hear yours. At least there's a small chance they'll shut up, then.

Your gonna have to call in a higher power lol... like parents would change their views based on their adolescent son/daughter?

[gandorf]

That's right, Neo; you'll have to wait for your balls to drop first, at least.

You're screwed you cant changed people minds who let themselves be controlled. In the middle of the night remove the TV and replace it with a fake one with no screen, get some good shopped graphics for a background and dress up like Glenn Beck. When they come in to watch the news tell them that you were lying all along to try and win the next elections.

You cant stop them from believing that trash. My family is the same way, and I just laugh at them and talk the truth to them.

Kill someone

Then blame fox TV

[Correction]

It's clear your family would get their info from any source that catered to their natural fear and hatred. Right now you're a little too focused on the idea that FOX is corrupting them somehow. It isn't. It just feeds them what they want to hear. Find a better battle to champion.

[Andarvi]

Kill them all.

[untouchable]

[AoE]

Move out. They're just trolling you.

Since when is 30 an adolescent?

I live in Arizona, I see these people once a year, and dont want to remove them as facebook/messenger friends because that is the only time I really talk to them, but it is getting damned annoying.
