[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  maybe it's not the aging brain, but maybe it's life experience. Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum I hope we all can admit there have been so much lies and deception on both sides. No matter where you fall with the vaccine debates I think there have been a lot of mis-truths and coverups. I remember when the lab leak theory was consider tinfoil hat stuff that only the Dailymail would cover. Having a parent fading with dementia I see you can't trust anyone. Contractors will make up issues and you have to get 3 or 4 opinions. Family members will crawl out of the woodwork and do all sorts of deceptive things. You find out the pillars of the community are secretly stealing money or doing other nefarious things.  I told my husband nothing can happen to him because he restores my faith in humanity.

After all I have experienced in my 50s, I'm afraid by my 70s and 80s I will be running around muttering "Don't trust the government!" "Fauci, Trump, Biden and son....all crooks and liars!!!!!" "Cloth masks work, no they don't, yes they do, no they don't , yes they do, no masks, wear masks" "The government lies....republicans, democrats...you can't trust them. They just want to profit from the presidency." I'll be in a corner rocking and muttering these things and a nice young lady will approach me and say "mam, I know, I know, the government lies and you can't trust anyone....it's time for your pureed lunch and then after that we will have a nice game of BINGO. I promise it isn't rigged and the government has nothing to do with it!"[/quote]

There's a lot of truth in this. And your last paragraph made me LOL

It's been humbling to realize that a lot of things I used to think were absolutes or were objective truths are a lot more complex, and in some cases politically spun. And that I've fallen for some serious BS. And worse, probably will again. We all have. We all will.
