Poking fun at current events...
My step mother is eighty and reacts to truth as if she were a vampire exposed to sun light.
My Dad died in 2002 and he was the same way, pre-MAGA life form.
All it takes is a steady refusal to face life on life's terms, and cry about it like all the fucking time.
It got really bad when Fox came on the scene.
They weaponized my parents Christian sensibilities like a virus.
It was bad before but after Fox it was wanting death on anyone that was in any way less conservative then Rush.
