As strong as I am in my belief that things will get better and the truth will be revealed, it makes my skin crawl every time my folks talk about Trump, parroting the same garbage from the MSM. My father gets angry, yells and argues the same talking points when I try to point out the issues, and my mother parrots and refuses to hear any opposing, ... like just flat out "I don't want to discuss" and shuts any conversation down.
This morning, the MSM was going on about how irresponsible it is for Trump to post/repost the AI generated memes of cats and dogs, how he's instigating.
I just can't talk to my parents. I've tried, I don't know what to do or say to get them to even think, or even consider the possibility that they might be wrong.
Aside from trying to find videos and accounts from social media talking about it, they just brush it off as people online being liars, or faked, "there is not official reporting"...
So all I'm left with is keeping my mouth shut while they sit and spin with whatever they are being fed on the TV.
.... so, I dunno. Maybe my job isn't to try to wake them up, or maybe I'm not smart or strong enough too. ... I can only hope I'm strong enough to be their support for the recovery after shit hits the fan that makes EVERYONE pay attention to what's really happening.
I guess not everyone can be a warrior.
"Gee mom and dad, you don't suppose there would be a reason the media wouldn't report this, do you? They wouldn't be working with the administration to hide stories that might be harmful to Kammy's election, would they?"
Do your folks think the media is honest and calls balls and strikes? I would start there. I'm sure you could find compilations of evidence showing how biased the media is. Hell, they did it last night, as the mods would only "fact check" Trump but not Kablahblah even once.

That's my brother-in-law, to a tee.
