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 ?
Sir you always have something good to say ?? Thank you
Its so true. The view from your own perspective is dull and (at least I) feel like we must try shaking our family members out of their deep deep sleep. But when you look at a global view, from Heavens eyes - we are winning this war. Eventually the water will lift high enough to fill the glasses of our loved ones and we will once again have peace and love amongst families. Until then though, its simply painful.
The problem is that I am a productive member of society. My wife and I have built a business from nothing to $6 mil/year. My Dad said the only reason that we were successful is because we took Obama money. I asked WTF he was talking about and he said we registered our business as a WBE to take advantage of government contracts. In 15 years we've done 2 jobs for the state.
We recently purchased a new home which was a YUGE upgrade from our previous residence and they won't visit because of "COVID" but I think the reality is they are scared of our success and it's easier for them to rationalize that we were successful because of luck or because of the government.
I say grab them by the ears and shake their heads until they say, "Okkkkk...OK...ok."
Less polite but much quicker results. Just a dissenting opinion.
A true gentleman :)
