Re Dads:
Their generation didn’t know how dastardly the news media was. They were manipulated by a government they trusted. My dad did similar stuff, and it hurt. You did your best.
All true. Thank you for the perspective.
I remember Walter Cronkite being known as the most trusted man in the media. What a con! I even remember how I hung on CNN when my son was in Desert Storm. It was so easy to trust and believe then. I quit trusting the media thanks to Bill Clinton and his BS but Trump really opened my eyes to how deep the lies really are. The treachery is almost beyond most normal people’s ability to fully grasp.
Linda, you didn’t shut your dad out of your life over his comments as so many have done to those of us who refused to take the clot shot. You were still his loving daughter with a different opinion than his. You did well speaking your truth in a loving context.
