Of course, this fear is entirely irrational because I&#8217;ve raised my babies to be critical thinkers, and now that they&#8217;re older and one is an adult, I can see that they are. That doesn&#8217;t stop me from worrying about it, though. I&#8217;ve seen so many people I once adored go down that path, and now they&#8217;re driving diesel trucks down the highway, flying Canadian flags and &#8220;Fuck Trudeau&#8221; banners with their measles-stricken kids in the back seat.
