They were pretty apolitical till coronavirus hit. Now my dad thinks it’s way overblown and they’ve bought into the media narrative that Antifa is literally committing terror attacks. I called my mom today and told her I went to the Breonna Taylor protest in LA and she said that if she hadn’t have been hanging out with drug dealers that wouldn’t have happened to her. It really makes me not even want to come and visit them anymore.

    You say 'apolitical,' but it comes across more like 'latent conservative'

      Boomers are roped easily into the fox news vortex. I'm fighting tooth and nail the keep my mom out of that shit. My mom's values are really in line with communist ones. But she is getting tricked by grifters into believing bullshit and propagranda. Heck, my whole family from here side were commies. It all started when she went online.

      I remember growing up my Dad said the democrats were "the party of working people" and now him and my mom seem to be conservative-leaning centrists.
