Had a friend when I in lived in MA whose daughter worked for this wretched pos. After she proudly posted a pic on facebook of her kid with the hag, I ended the friendship, it wasn’t worth the sheer frustration. Her daughter tried to engage me in battle and I shut that down immediately. It’s difficult enough to try shedding light on the adults in my life, wasn’t about to try undoing decades of wrong headed thinking with a know-it-all 20 year old.
I’ve got a lot of liberal leftist relatives like that. Facts are irrelevant and usually unknown (despite two of them being attorneys).
Came from a Depression mentality that permeated the family. FDR was God and you couldn’t say a thing about him that was negative. However, my father, who was wise, kept quiet about politics in front of my mother (a good-hearted soul who didn’t know dick about real politics, yet railed against stupidity in local government - all run by Democrats).
No easy answer to stupidity and blindness.
