This stuff has been going on for generations. I remember my in-laws having fits because their son's college education (specifically his philosophy courses) had caused him to question their religious beliefs. What a fuss.

You know what? You are not ever going to be able to change their minds by arguing with them, even though you are right and even though you have the facts at hand. They are brainwashed by propagandists. Could you change Hannity's mind? No. Could you change Beck's mind? No.

So maybe the best thing to do is consider people like him relics of a different mindset and cheerfully not engage in arguments. "Whatever you say, Dad."

A question: Does he support you? That makes an independent life a bit more difficult.
