    Not OP but my parents are the same way. It’s because Bilary (as they love to call them) is evil/corrupt/etc

    Not sure why Republican corruption never matters. If I could figure that out I might be able to convince them to vote not-Republican.

      If they see Billary as corrupt, but not trump, then they’re fully indoctrinated with political propaganda. At that point you probably can’t reach them, because they’re no longer basing their decisions from reality. Additionally, I don’t see how two politicians who are largely irrelevant today being corrupt would stop them from voting from other candidates. It’s just an excuse that was given to them by their cult leaders.

        I feel you. My hope is slowly fading…I miss my family and I am not looking forward to this election. I’m scared it will be my final straw and I won’t see them again. :(
