I think some people just can't hang. My mom is an example. I love her to death. But she grew up in Los Angeles, lives in Seattle, is thoroughly indoctrinated and thinks these leaders 'mean no harm'. If I try to point out any truth on any of these recent subjects, I'm met with "no politics please, dear" and a quick change of subject or claim she has to get off the phone because of bathroom needs. I believe it's a well ingrained fear. When a person is 80 yrs old, and doesn't want to end life on the idea that every single thing she learned was an evil lie. It's so sad.
