My 23 yo son has been keeping us informed about this the last several months. From what I can gather her views are reprehensible. My advice to my son, which he has mostly seemed to follow, is to separate her politics from her work (we discussed the limits of this distinction, pending her comments on the Capital Assault). For the second half of this season, we (wife son and I watched Mando together every week) took to referring to her as “The Trump Lover” (necessary because we regularly have to pause the show to explain what us happening to my wife).
