136. You're right. Actually, the worst thing is that from age 20 on, he was an Ayn Randist.
I find Ayn Rand to have been a mentally ill, adulterous, consciousless freak whose ideology (which she claimed was based on her disdain for Communism), was pure bullshit, but punitive and oligarchist.

Later on, he listened to Rush and all the other right wing assholes.

No one, but NO ONE has ever presented him with the other point of view, just me. In fact, he's always left open-mouthed when he hears my logic about things. He's in shock. He's agreed with a few things, but it takes him a lot of effort to change his ideology. For example, about the homeless being lazy. I've explained that the homeless are at the end of the road of a life that has been filled with numerous problems, and that not everyone was born to his (my boyfriend's) fine circumstances.

He partially agrees, but he's believed this shit for so long, that it's like someone that has never used an arm and has almost lost all use of it. It's PAINFUL for him to think of my ideology as being true.
