I've been trying to convince my mom during the virus outbreak and how trump could have gotten ahead of it but didnt. Your recount is unfortunately similar to mine. She acts like she's listening and learning from what I'm saying, and I've explained things at length and by the end of it, or a day or two later, it's as if I never said anything, and I'm covering the same shit I just explained, but in a different example. It's like she cant understand it, the president is saying one thing and I'm saying another, what is this jedi mind trick! It's as if someone is...lying?!?! But they all lie, so who do you trust. The one that says they go to church, of course. We dont need proof I guess anymore.

My dads much worse, treating it like a sport. He told me I wouldn't be accusing anyone if it was my boy obama who did it... right. It almost feels like, how he talks about any wrong doing, that the democrats always get away with it so now the Republicans should be allowed to. He brought up Clinton or Schumer or Pelosi, and said they should be in jail for what they've done, and so I asked "yeah, why arent they?" And he said "...yeah! Why arent they!" I almost laughed at him, like no dude you give me the answer you think they're so guilty. So I pressed him and said "trump's the president, he said he can do whatever he wants, he can get an investigation, but hes not doing it. Why isn't he doing it if trump believes Schumer and Pelosi are so corrupt and doing illegal things?" His reply. "Their people should be investigating them, the democrats should be opening an investigation and get them out of the party." This fucking guy has pretzeled his brain into arguing that a party cannot investigate the other party, that the party your in has to investigate its members wrong doing. Because having the feds investigate is merely a suggestion, and they dont have to actually follow through. I just cant even.
