I too, agree. Hubby agrees, but 2 of our 3 teens disagree with us. I keep having them look things up, think for themselves as to 5 Ws and to follow the money. Because I am mom, they are at that age (teen,18 to be exact) where they think they know EVERYTHING. Hubby and I are blubbering idiots. I remind them I raised them to think for themselves, not follow the crowds just to fit in and that, just because I do not agree with something they have said, doesn't mean I do not understand what they said. Every now and then, I have to remind them, I raised them, (triplets and homeschooled them) and they should know by now, I deal with the facts, and they need to too. My daughters end up crying! Hence the nickname, Momster!
Thank you. I must be at that top of the good mom list this month because, it is getting rough. Last night they told me Qanon was evil! LOL I told them that isn't even a thing, that Q is a thing, and Anon is a thing, but Qanon isn't a thing and what really "scared" them was when I said, I like President Trump and I will gladly vote for him again. He is great for not only our country, but the whole world. After they stormed off to their rooms in tears, my hubby went and talked to them. I think their he is starting to get through to them a little bit. He told them even though he is a Democrat, he supports the orange man! LOL They were shocked. I am happy they are starting to see the light.
I agree with you 100%. I hair is turning a strand or two grey every day from them and their shenanigans. The other day, my girls and I were going to the store. I parked, and proceeded to get out of my car without a mask. They threw a hissyfit, tried to put a mask on my face, keep in mind, there wasn't a person around in the parking lot, by the store, crickets. I told them stop, then they said they wanted to go home if I acted that way and wouldn't put my mask on. So, I drove them home, dropped them off and had a great time shopping! LOL Again, they think I am the MOMSTER. LOL. Don't have to tell me twice. Plus, I reminded them, I am their MOTHER and I choose what I do or NOT do and they are entitled to their opinion, etc. gave them the speech the drive home. Oops, sorry for rambling.

Once they experience great evil on their own, they will appreciate what you've done to protect them from it.
Kindly remind them that this literally happens to all of us. (approximately around age 30 is the major red pill)
I used to hate when older people told me this growing up, but it's absolutely true. I just wish they spoke on my level so I could understand it.
