[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know OP.  I seem to have gotten my parents to stop.  When they say anything political (and frankly, crazy), I no longer try to reason with them.  I just smile and go back to my book, or the TV, or my phone... taking up playing an instrument has helped too.  Nobody can argue with playing O Susana on the ukulele.  Crossword puzzles.  Board games.  I simply REFUSE to engage.  They have mostly given up trying to goad me.  My young teens are also under strict orders not to engage.  One parent may be dying soon and I am not going to have our final years together marred by this insanity.  I barely recognize the people I grew up with.  Started during the Obama years.  They just FREAKED OUT and still haven't gotten over it.

Ask me to tell you about how Scalia was a hit job sometime!  Like an old, overweight guy never has a heart attack in his sleep.  That theory died down when Obama gave up on the SCOTUS pick however....[/quote]
NP. Omg my mother floated the same Scalia theory!!![/quote]
