My parents are more right wing than me and I tend to just change to conversation topic or make non-commital comments about their opinions.

From my perspective it seems like a general trend towards becoming more right wing for a lot of older people and I’m definitely not going to change their mindset which has been set over 75+ years. I try to just enjoy the time I have with them while I still have them.

Thanks for this recommendation. Also not a reader of fanfic but have very much enjoyed reading a few chapters.
