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.....

Old people are floating in the darkness, and when they find a thought they hold onto it. They don't consider context or other thoughts like someone with a healthy brain. They hold onto that one thought with everything they have, for fear of slipping back into the darkness where they can't keep a train of thought or remember where they are. "Old" for some people is 50. Those people keep up appearances for years and can talk and do things as if their brain works, but they are slowly losing it.
Pede it sounds like you personally know of some old people who are mentally losing it, but many old folks are still quite sharp. Some of them are Pedes right here with us!!!
Thank you, Granny. I'm a 74 yr old MAGA pede, Trump supporter, patriot. Age is not the problem here.
Indeed mentally "old" can be a wide range of ages, like I suggested. I know people over 70 who can think through things very well. People's bodies and likewise their brains decline, and I think that's how their thinking changes in not being willing to think on the outskirts of a thought as much because they are less adept at holding it all together. So the point is, when an old person is being stubborn or alarmingly brainwashed as the OP's parents, even if they seem quite functional it may be more a decline than anything external, if they weren't always like that.
Here's the deal:
IQ declines as people get older. The decline starts at different ages, and progresses at different rates for different people. The decline becomes most apparent after retirement, when most people simply use their brain less. Most people do not lose very much, which is a good thing, because most people do not have a lot to lose. The average IQ is 100, and if you've ever had a conversation with an IQ 100, you know that they're pretty much dumbfucks. Now, imagine that dumbfuck with ten or fifteen fewer IQ points.
That's very thoughtful of you and shows your caring!
Pede must know Pedo Joe.
Yeah we all have to think of former vice president Joe Biden, and at many times he seems to be ok. But he's not.
ROTFLMAO. I am 71. No way am I “keep up appearances for years and can talk and do things as if their brain works, but they are slowly losing it.”. You sound like a no-nothing millennial
I find it very hard to believe that a 71 year old is on a PC and on this website. From experience other 71 year olds don't even know how the TV remote works.
Jesus kid I’ve been surfing for almost 30 yrs, and I am low tech. Used to have two land lines...one just for the internet.
I am 62 and was online when it started
If you are being serious, you cannot be a very intelligent person.
There is a serious problem in this country where people see a handful of people act a certain way and then they think everyone acts that same way.
You are a moron and probably a lefty
