Thats the thing! They most definitely are not! My dad has a degree in computer science, (never did anything with it) and my mom has a degree in … well accounting, but she is smart, I promise. I think they are just so incredibly gullible. You know that saying, its easy to trick someone with a lie but impossible to convince someone of the truth, or something like that. I think deep down, they know they are wrong, but they dont want to admit that they part of the problem.
I think their just trapped in a bubble of bad info and are influenced by racism subconsciously. I KNOW my parents aren’t bad people, but they sure as hell arent talking like good people or even well thought-out people.
I guess I just thought my parents were smarter, that they could see through this admins BS. They seriously claim that Trump is doing much better than Biden, but I talk to everyone I know, and they are all having money problems, food insecurity and housing problems, all being made worse under Trump.
I think my parents are just selfish. And it breaks my heart that they are betraying everything I thought I learned from them. I guess maybe they didnt influence me as much as I thought.
It was kind of funny though, because my husband was like, “Now you know how I feel.” At least they are a-okay with me and my husband, though, at this rate, I’m worried that wont be the case in a couple years.
I don’t think they aren’t smart in a logical sense, I think its more of a lack of critical thinking and a focus on short term gains (which i would argue aren’t even that good lol)
