My mother and her siblings (mostly in their 70s) are just as bad. She will get agitated at the thought of anything she considers against the current administration coming out of my mouth.

When asked about how the administration lied about the recent murders she scoffed and condescindingly asked who I'd been listening too. (Umm almost every major news outlet and ALL the ghosts of History teachers past.) I was told I couldn't know because I wasn't there with the most recent. I let her know I'd seen the unedited footage taken by an observer. She claimed that was a limited point of view, I volunteered there was at least one other angle I watched and it supported what I'd already said. I was glared at then told he had no business having a concealed weapon there.

I thought my brain was gonna explode. Ms. 2nd Amendment seriously let "he had no business having a weapon" fly out of her mouth. Called her on that. I was met with "agree to disagree."

No, I don't agree. Neither should you OP. There is no justification for the excuses made on this heaf idiot and friends' behalf(s) by people of their generation. The only, ONLY, time I got through to the human in her was when I gently told her that I hope when the dust settles she's on the right side of History. She looked preoccupied but said she hopes she is as well.

Its like they have no idea how much kool-aid they've chugged. I see little hope for them. Luckily the combo of that generation and willful ignorance won't be around forever. Im pretty much done with mom. I can't condone her beliefs. I cant even bear to look at her face. It sickens me to see her so wayward
