My daughter asked me to stop sending her proof that the coof is fake news. I said ok because I love her and now feel like I've been contributing to her stress levels.
If I was a smidge more callous I would have sent her this...
"No. You're in your mid twenties and have judged me by your ignorance.
Nothing I've shown you was a lie. Nothing.
Yet you choose self imposed ignorance, comfort, over reality.
This country is at war. You are living in a failing society that is being controlled through media, education and chemical manipulation. "
I wish I could send her this but I now know she would just check out mentally in the first few sentences.
I miss you, kiddo.

I hated my conservative dad when I was young too. I thought he was such an idiot. Then I read more history. I came totally around. Maybe suggest a book club with your daughter to reconnect? and you take turns picking the books? SHe picks first, and then on your turns you pick a bunch of memoirs from people who survived communism. I recommend you start with "When God Looked the Other Way." There's also that famous one from Asia, I think it's First They Killed my Father? Or you could do movies. My Way is a pretty great Korean film. Don't make any lectures or anything, just focus on how sad the story is. Godspeed.
Physical distance makes this difficult. But a very good suggestion.
