So, I went to visit my parents after almost a year of them refusing physical visits. They now feel somewhat safe. My dad decides to start trashing Trump. He was spitting out every lie that we've seen shared by CNN/MSNBC/ fake news. He claimed that there was no voter fraud, no antifa at the capital and that the Proud Boys are the ones who burned down cities last year and that BLM was trying to protect their communities. He then went on a rant that I shouldn't have a right to say anything because I didn't vote when I was 24 years old. He made the ridiculous statement that we came SO close to losing our Democracy. My son and I sadly got up and quietly walked out from the visit. My parents are lost. They spent the last 4 years being programmed and there is no hope. They have been lied to so much that no amount of "proof" will change their minds.
My parents are gone, I've lost them.....
?️ DISCUSSION ?
This is common among older folks. When they believe something, they refuse to believe anything else. Even if you prove it. Stubbornness is hard to break. They get set in their thoughts, and beliefs. It sucks, but only they can decide to research to find the truth.
Well, some of us are also experiencing millennial age adult children who may well fall into that 4-6%, and have grief from this side of the generations, too.
That is true. My daughter is a post millennial, and she is in that 4-6%. I blame the schools for pushing this crap. I am Gen X , and I think , we are the last group that got through without the nonsense they push.
Fellow Gen X'er here, and I agree!
Mom and dad sent her!
4-6% might be the biggest mistake Q has posted. It’s way higher than that.
It's far from over, thankfully.
When Trump is reinstated as president, there will be absolutely no denying that our theories were correct. What are his parents gonna do, turn around and say Biden is still president? Or that Biden will be reinstated soon? That would be too ridiculous
In this case, someone else needs to show it to them. Just love them and agree to disagree.
