On my last visit, a close family member declared that "Democrats are murdering babies". "WHAT?!?" I told them, "That's called infanticide and I can guarantee you that it is illegal in every state in the US and most of the developed world."
They later looked it up online and figure out it is not true.
People I used to think have basic sense are off the deep end believing whatever shit they see.
These (old) people are also terrified of Russia and putin, but think nothing of ut that drumpf is his best buddy. I cannot comprehend.
