I have elderly parents (dad is WWII vet) & I can tell you, they are greatly affected by Obysmal ... his policies, what he is doing to the country, the corruption, the rooting out of morals, decency and anything Christian. I hate to say this, but at least dad will likely not be here to see the total collapse of America as he knew it and fought for and I am glad he will be spared of that.
What is so sad to me, MM... is there is nothing you can say to them that would make them feel any better. I know that is so jaded and dark.. but what could you say? “Dad, don’t worry.. the next president will fix all this” or “Mom, this is just temporary... we will get our freedoms back in so many years”. Yes... they will be spared seeing the total collapse and I will tell you something that is hard for me to say. There are times when I look at my kids and think, “What kind of country are you growing up in and what is coming in your future adult life that I don’t want to know about”. The freedoms and liberties we had as kids... the young today don’t have. I actually pity today’s youth for this very reason.
My parents were young, but lived through WWII also, escaping the Communists and the Siberian death camps. My father’s family spent a short time in a concentration camp. They both know too well the horrors that the anti-Christian, anti-normalcy, anti-middle/upper class resentments breed.
Within one generation, the Communists are back in FULL charge and swing. My parents have always been very positive people, but whenever we talk about what’s going, over lunch, they’re really worried. To say the least.
