One thing that seems to be fundamentally different between Republican and Democratic thought is that Republicans believe in individual rights while Democrats appear to believe in imposing their beliefs on others, “for the common good,” of course.
Democrats, particularly young Democrats, seem to believe that Republicans are Republicans because of Fox News and if they just got rid of Fox News, then that would solve their problems and everyone would think like them. It’s something you hear constantly on social media from folks on the left: Oh, you think that way because you’ve been indoctrinated from Fox News.
Our friends over at Twitchy picked up an excellent example of this, a tweet from Mohamad Safa, who is the CEO of ‘Patriotic Vision,’ who has about 75,000 followers.

I blocked Fox News with parental controls at my parents' house and now my mom keeps calling, asking why they can't watch their news program, and I truly believe this is how we can save our country.

That’s pretty disgusting for someone to do to his parents and he’s basically bragging about it, virtue signaling for clout to his followers.
Except there’s a little more to the story.
You’re a proponent of saving the nation by treating your parents like children and sabotaging their property. With you as their son, I think I agree, your parents have contributed to the decline of our country. Also, I’m being told they raised a plagiarist. Get them likes, champ.

Turns out he’s “saving the country” with someone else’s tweet.
Someone I know blocked Fox News with parental controls at her parents’ house and now her mom keeps calling, asking why they can’t watch their news program, and I truly believe this is how we can save America…

Yo @mhdksafa, why’re you ripping off accounts 14x smaller than yours? pic.twitter.com/mlOt46vFRB

That Twitter user also noted that Safa had other ripped off tweets, even from Dan Rather, who had his own issues with truth.

You can check them here.
Twitchy notes that he complained about being attacked by “racists” but deleted the tweet. But they got it.
