8. Except that I don't accept anything that MTG says as proof of anything. Or QAnon.

Son and Grandson live with me, so to manage a peaceful existence, we have arrived at NO POLITICS discussed.

Grandson was in his grief and I guess it's understandable that he wanted to be rich and able to afford extensive treatment for the cat because he loved that cat SO MUCH. I got that part. Totally got that part.

Then he went into angry mode. Why does it have to be so expensive NOW?!

But told him it has been expensive like that for a long time, he said, "NO, only since 2020 when Biden took office"

I lost it. I will apologize for how I said it, but I am going to print out facts and figures for both of them and impress upon them that needing to BLAME someone for things does NOT SOLVE anything.

That my son teaching his son to automatically reach for political bias to soothe his grief is indoctrination, not education.

The MAGAs are constantly giving their "flock" reasons to be upset and painting a target on the DEMS.
