CNN & FOX News have done to our parents exactly what they thought Marylin Manson and violent video games would do to us.
@MostlyHarmless I've never been more grateful that my 74-year-old father doesn't watch Fox News. He's conservative, but has voted for Democrats the last three presidential elections in a row because, as he put it, "I'm not a fucking idiot."

Jealous, my 92yr father is completely absorbed. He adores Trump who in his mind "can do no wrong." Fortunately though, we don't talk politics very much and can still enjoy each other's company.

On the election, I tried to tell him, "C'mon dad, you've been through so many elections and you know how they work. Every candidate has an opportunity to prove misconduct. To date, there's no evidence." This comment fell flat, as if I was staring into a void.

Old people are easy targets for charlatans and scammers but they won't listen to anyone. Senility can creep in at any age though.
