So, I went to visit my parents after almost a year of them refusing physical visits. They now feel somewhat safe. My dad decides to start trashing Trump. He was spitting out every lie that we've seen shared by CNN/MSNBC/ fake news. He claimed that there was no voter fraud, no antifa at the capital and that the Proud Boys are the ones who burned down cities last year and that BLM was trying to protect their communities. He then went on a rant that I shouldn't have a right to say anything because I didn't vote when I was 24 years old. He made the ridiculous statement that we came SO close to losing our Democracy. My son and I sadly got up and quietly walked out from the visit. My parents are lost. They spent the last 4 years being programmed and there is no hope. They have been lied to so much that no amount of "proof" will change their minds.
I've lost my parents.....

I’m sorry, man. That hurts.
Just remember, there’s a breaking point for almost everybody, but it’s also different for everybody. Family is more important than politics. You don’t have to stop talking to them, and you certainly don’t have to stop loving them. Something will eventually happen, or you’ll find an avenue of discussion, to help bring them to their senses. Don’t give up hope.
The programming is deep, but it’s also based on lies. Reality always catches up.
I wish you were correct. I've been battling with my libtard mother for decades, trying to get her to understand and see the truth. She has literally walked away from me with her fingers stuffed in her ears going "lalalala".
I will never change her mind, so I limit my contact with her. If there was a way to walk away clean, right now, I'd do it in a minute. I've no doubt that these same family members will turn us in to the new gestapo for re-education one day.
Their programming is complete. There is no hope for change. There is no reality in their world. Logic checked out years ago.
I like the sentiment Pede- but really the parents chose to squander the time they had to visit with their son/daughter and grandson and appeared to verbally abuse them. I mean realistically what type of relationship are we talking here if they come to their senses? They appear to hold little value in treating their family members with love or warmth. Sometimes it is better to walk away than to cling to the illusion that the people you love actually love you when their treatment shows otherwise.
Well-stated.
MIL's brother disowned the rest of the family over #TDS. That's been at least 3 years now. His call, people reach out to him.
