    Just went through that with an elderly neighbor recently.

    She broke her foot and is in poor health, so we were walking her dog twice a day cause we are nice like that. She was always praising us for being such good people and a godsend to her.

    One day, she made a comment that she thought Trump was doing a great job and I gently tried to explain to her that he was ruining our lives and countless others out there.

    I was hoping she would have a moment of introspection, but no. She just immediately went on about the democrats, how we get offended too easily, and how she thinks I swear too much but she doesn’t hold it against me.

    Everything except: “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize.”

    Told her we no longer feel comfortable walking get dog.

    Cue the waterworks and the “What about me? I can’t walk!”

    It’s not worth engaging with these people. There is something broken in their brains.
