I ask them to watch abc, cbs, read USA Today, anything - no dice. They say they won’t read the liberal press because it’s all lies.

And if I try to talk about current events they cut me off and talk over me as if it’s painful to hear reality.

I was told by my father that troops are not needed in DC, it’s all a liberal plot to make Trump look bad.

How do you deal with that much bat guano crazy? I’ve decided to just kind of take a break because I can’t deal with it.
