Milo Yianopoulos

My 18 year old daughter was a Democrat, but now she is not sure. How's come? She has started to watch Milo Yannopoulos videos on the Internet. She is now saying political correctness is out of control. I told her he's a troll, but she says he is just putting on a persona. I told her "in politics you ARE your persona." I also told her he has been banned from Twitter. She says "that was a long time ago."
Does anyone have anything I can tell her to get her off "Pretty Monstrous"?

If she doesn't like it ask her why
If she is a fan of Milo that is already extreme imo

and Milo's role in it. And if she still likes him after that, tell her that she's a horrible disappointment to you and that you wish you had a daughter that wasn't a fascist.

Government and politics should not be entertainment. Tell her that.

People like Milo are enabling the religious right, who have their own form of "political correctness" that will lead to people dying.
