  • I started listening to Chapo and hanging out on r/CTH back in 2018. It took literal years of chipping away at Western media narratives to push my family left.

    Honestly one of the bigger things was introducing Means Morning News (it’s a 4-day-a-week news program offerered by the leftist co-op subscription service Means.tv, which costs $10/mo, but the Friday show is posted free most weeks) and getting them to watch it regularly, but it took a lot of pointing out the BS in Western media to get to that point. As I’m sure you know, the slant of Western media is very obvious once you’re aware of it, but your family, like most people, has been very effectively trained not to see it, and it will take time to break through that.





  • My understanding is that the second financial advisor is correct. You should at least start trying to plan for the worst case scenario, and I really don’t see another option besides pulling her out of the nursing home for at least a little bit, to buy yourselves some time. Medicaid typically has a five-year lookback, so giving the house away isn’t really an option (you’re not eligible for Medicaid for 5 years after such a transaction).

    I’m very sorry to offer only bad news. I’m not an attorney, but everything I know about these rules suggests that it really is that bad, so you should be prepared to take whatever action you can to forestall losing the house.





  • Maybe from the fact that the bloodless US political class has delivered nothing to ordinary people for decades, and people were ready to grab onto anyone who actually seemed to offer a promise of something different? Maybe from the vast swathes of racism that still suffuse the population, which aren’t readily cleansed from a country literally built on white supremacy?

    You libs love to use “sure the US is bad too” as a throwaway line, but you clearly don’t actually believe it, seeing as you can’t even imagine that this country could elect Trump without being induced to do it by Evil Russians.
