      Ditto. Mine are now virtue signaling how anti-Trump they are when they always pedaled “voting for your wallet” and other Reagan-type bullshit. I don’t blame them for being so obtuse, but god damn can it be frustrating to see the hypocrisies bubble up while they demand adulation.

        LOL mine too. They suddenly see the light and realize that they were terrible parents and now are so sad that many of my siblings are rampant MAGA types. Oh if only they knew then what they know now, dontchano.

          I hypothesize that insular “family values” is the time bomb that stoked their egos insofar as to blind them to the real machinations of this world, and now their minds are detonating into a cloud of dissonance, deflection, and denial. It’s sad really, to witness the fallout of decades of propaganda.

            I have felt sorry for boomers because of the endless propaganda. Only a few seem to have been able to see through it.
