Growing up my parents were always liberal. They had no problem with LGBTQ or immigrants or the government helping out when needed. About 5 years ago they retired and moved to Texas. I started to notice a change in attitude, especially from my mom. She would start talking about sending immigrants back, that they are taking our jobs. She loved the fact that Trump was building a wall. Then in the same breath would say we couldn't afford to kept cutting checks to those affected by Covid.

One time I said that Trump had divided this country and she adamantly denied it. She has been brainwashed into believing the immigrants that are here are under a visa program. Then she would start telling me what was going on in Mexico. The politics going on there and how they are sending Mexicans over the border. I don't care about Mexico. She also started sending me negative articles about Beto O'Rouke and Hillary Clinton and on and on. It's gotten to the point I don't want to talk to her, I don't recognize who she is anymore.

What this and all of these other postings tell me is that these people are easily swayed and don't have a mind of their own. They don't have the courage of their convictions and are happy to eat up anything spoon fed to them. I haven't visited my parents in several years and now I can't even stomach the thought of visiting. I don't know who they are and don't want to be in contact unless necessary.
