My problem is that I can't disown my parents, because they are in their 80s now, and they need my help. But I have no way of deprogramming them. They have been hooked on NBC for 40 years.
They don't think I'm a terrorist because they don't know what I think. I avoid political discussions with them. I mean they are SO brainwashed. My mother became uncommunicative and inconsolable for a period of time after I merely suggested that maybe Trump isn't quite so bad as the media says. I owe them debts (not just the regular ones, but extra ones because they always had my back growing up with a mental illness) I can never repay. I will continue to be loyal to them, and available to them, for as long as they live. Nothing, at this point, can change that.

If your parents think you’re a terrorist they don’t deserve your help. You should tell them that unless they’re too old to think straight
