Well I didn't know my grandfather well enough to know his point of view on things, he passed when I was a little kid. Anyway, from what my father told me, his dad was very strict, his mother hated him and told his dad he was bad, and dad would hit him. That happened a lot apparently. I only remember seeing my grandmother once in passing. My father left for the army when he was 17, had to ask for their signatures to be able to join the army. He was a Drill Seargent, don't believe he ever saw combat. My parents split up when I was a toddler.
Well I think it's why they persistently won't "wake up" no matter what happens. Sort of like the Scott Adams angle on persuasion, that human beings usually employ logic to back up the emotional decision they already made. In this case it's not really about Trump and it's not really about "what he did wrong". Aside from general ridiculous statements ("that tweet was treason" type stuff) they cant even verbalize what they hate so much about him. "Mad at their dad" is my own armchair diagnosis
