Does anyone have parents that only talk about politics?

I'm even in agreement with 95% of the things they talk about, but it's like listening to a broken record. What's the point of visiting? I guess it's an old people thing. I've started finishing their rants for them because I have them all memorized.

Mine never talk politics....my dad hates the government and thinks every politician is a scumbag and my mom is clueless...when I visit we call all the neighbors let them know I am in town with the wife and kids...and we throw a party and get trashed....its always good seeing my folks.

My parents don't, but my grandparents on the other hand only talk about how the country is shite and the apocalypse is coming soon because Satin is our president. That's no exaggeration. They literally told me that I needed to find jesus because we'd be seeing him soon last time i saw them.

Trust me. These are not sophisticated conversations. My mom watches Fox News every night.

Meh, my folks watch it and are pretty sophisticated. Mainly just the Special Report though, which is a pretty decent show. No Hannity or O'Reilly, etc.

Let's all agree to not be like that in 30 years.

My views are more to the right than my leftish liberal family and friends desire so I generally just shut up.

Agreed. Don't care if they are liberal or conservative. Keep that shite to yourself. Just causes strife and drama.

Back in the day it was politics or how much they were fricking. I said tell me every god damn complaint you have about Jimmy Carter, I don't want to hear about you both fricking.

My family is conservative but thinks Fox News is a joke.

My dad thinks Michael Bloomberg is brilliant. We are socially liberal and financially conservative. Like republicans used to be until they made a deal with the devil
To import Jesus. We mostly talk about why republicans now are ridiculous.
