[quote=deadzone]I’ve observed many older, retired folks falling into the extreme political propaganda stuff. We all know the Fox news stereotype. But I’ve seen the same thing with my own parents on the liberal side. I think it is a combination of early onset dementia and just not having any real world problems (ie job, family, etc) to deal with.
I sure hope when I am retired I have enough hobbies to keep my mind away from politics.[/quote]
Maybe old people just watch too much news. My super liberal mom worries the world’s going to hell too. I beg her to stop watching CNN for hours. She refuses.
As for me, my wife says I’m starting to sound more conservative the last few. YearsOf course, she’s practically a pinko commie.
