the i dont care about politics anymore thread

Well my parents are officially completely consumed by the covid hysteria cult. Went to see them and the topic came up of why we never react this way to other diseases like the flu, which is also quite dangerous for the elderly and *more* dangerous to kids than covid.

I was expecting my mom to pause and think about that point, but instead her response was essentially: "You're right, we SHOULD have been acting this way all along for the flu and common colds, we should have been wearing masks and everything else all along, we could have saved so many lives."

So in her mind the abnormal behavior was how things were *before* covid, and how things are now is actually good. It's extremely disturbing and because it's my own parents being this unreasonable I'm genuinely concerned about it.

And yes, they watch basically nothing but msnbc and cnn all day. And occasionally sports.

Sorry to hear that, hope they get better when the news tells them to.

Seriously I can imagine what it's like for people who lose loved ones to scientology. On my drive home I had this elaborate day dream about my parents disconnecting me or whatever that insane thing is where scientologists cut off all contact with certain family members or friends at the behest of the church.

Weird how its always republicans saying "lets leave the USA, but not leave it, just make this state not part of it anymore" no... they said they hate america and want a divorce. Go then.

My in-laws are the same way. I've tried to have some discussions with them about this but they are dug in. The biggest surprise to me from all of this is how many are just waiting to be told what to do. How many don't have interest in examining things on a deeper, longer term level. Keep the TV on, keep my belly full and many will just go along.
