My dad & sister are the same way. I was down at my dad's in Miami 2 weeks ago to be with him while he had his leg amputated. At one point he told me he had taken his flag down because of the immigration laws that were passed as I started to tell him none had gotten passed because of the idiots in the House he started with his crazy ranting. I had to stop him short as I had only been in town less than 30 min. He also still swears HRC should be in jail for Libya. It's rather painful.

Just know your not alone & many of us feel your pain.
