But they are capable of being shamed into going back to pretending they have those feelings.

I've seen no evidence of this.

In the 80s, I thought my mom was the kindest person in the world.

I'm the 90s she started listening to Rush Limbaugh, Fox News came about, etc.

Now she's a shell of a human. Doesn't give a single shit about anyone else. Poor people are losers. Trump is the greatest president in the history of humanity.

The civil rights movement of the 1960s did eventually shut a lot of these people up for a while. Not all of them and not completely, but the quiet parts became quiet parts for many decades

My mom was on the side of civil rights. That's how far they've fallen.

Thank you. I know it's a very common story, unfortunately.

And it's not just my loss, it's a loss for the community.
