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.....

Literally the same exact story for my in laws, except we won’t be taking any trips to see them when they finally feel “safe.” My husband and I had a baby in Dec 2019 and the in laws were present and around the baby - then when COVID hit, they up and abandoned my daughter. They asked us to keep face-timing and we were just like... you know what? No! Come see her in person I am not doing this!! So they have literally no relationship with my daughter, their ONLY grandchild. I wouldn’t care if they wanted to quarantine away from my husband and I; whatever right? But no, they let COVID ruin the relationship with their grandbaby. Who the fuck does that. Bridges have been burned. I pray for them to find Jesus. Please God reach those people! I can’t even stand to look at pictures of them anymore. The icing on the cake is they are avid anti Trumpers cause muh media said so and “we do our research, Trump is a hateful child imprisoning racist.”
You might have to take the first step to mend the relationship. Pray on it. Thanks for sharing.
I know its not very godly of me but I just don’t even want to. You know? They disgust me.
I’m hearing you in stereo.
