Dear Always,
Try the reverse. Political rhetoric is what gave society all the ills of the past year. Tell the kids to stay far away from politics. Most politicians have no idea what is good for the people they serve. The same goes for public figures that do not have an actual craft. Judges. Legislators. Mayors. Lawyers. Police. Askanim.
What pushes our kids into this garbage is the same as a hundred and two hundred years ago. They do not have enough exposure to Torah. It is hard to distinguish a personality like Ben Shapiro from Chaim Weizmann. Communism is no more of an avodah zarah than any political stance.
