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.....

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.
