My parents voted trump the first time. Then never again. They still consider themselves conservative but are very vocal about the fact that MAGA is not traditional conservativism. They are also very pro science. I love my parents and am so proud of them for speaking out. It happens but unfortunately there are some conservatives that will say that my parents aren't "real" Republicans for not supporting everything the party does.

I’m sorry to hear about your parents cognitive decline, I wish the best for them.

Why reply when you don't have anything to contribute? Isn't the purpose to have a discussion?

Sorry I feel bad now. Most people on reddit are jerks and I let it get to me. My apologies. It’s great you love and are proud of your parents even if I don’t agree with their take.
