My parents appear to be trying to move on, but without saying that Trump did anything wrong. For them, it’s basically just “let’s ignore all those crimes… Hey, did you hear about these great candidates Rick Scott or RFK, Jr?” (And, yes, my father did try to tell me how great those two are.)
I hope you said “Rick Scott, perpetrator of the largest Medicare fraud our nation has ever seen? You think HE is great? And RFK, a well documented Republican funded spoiler candidate they think will siphon democrat votes through wild nonsensical claims backed in no way by reality? This is a good candidate to you?”
I don’t know how to respond. It’s not a great situation, but at least they’ve stopped vocally and/or actively supporting him. I’m sorry, congratulations? Seems weird to say but it’s honest.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad won’t say his name anymore but will never admit anything he could possibly be culpable for. Sure miss him sometimes.
I still talk to my father, but I try my hardest not to discuss politics. Still, every so often my father will bring something up (like Rick Scott/RFK Jr). It either results in an argument between us or me just getting off the phone quickly due to my wife and boys “coincidentally” calling for my help with something.
And then there are my parents who will support him regardless.
