Does mom or dad suffer from early Fox News dementia? There's hope (for you). [View in Browser]( [Alternate text] [SHOP]( EXCLUSIVE [SUBSCRIBE]( [How to Love Your Parents Even If You Hate Their Politics]( [How to Love Your Parents Even If You Hate Their Politics]( Many people I know have parents who are suffering from Early Fox News Dementia, ranting about the perfidy of Anthony Fauci and the possibility of catching critical race theory from an open jar of mayonnaise. But at the same time, they want to give their children parental advice and guidance, though now through the prism of their separate bespoke realities.

Newcomers are in for an unforgettable reading experience; you’ll always remember the first time you encountered these moving, masterfully imagined epics about the struggle between good and evil, the delicate balance of death and immortality, and the addictive danger of power.
