It's truly astounding. They really don't seem to get what's going wrong. My husband's aunt (MILs sister) is not quite as sheltered but she's not ever willing to see the truth of pretty much anything that is upsetting. My sister-in-law is 45 years old and knows better but again, she doesn't really want to get too realistic. 

Somehow my husband and my SILs daughter both came out of that family as conservatives. Not sure how but they did. I am the wild card. I've lived and traveled all over the US and lived in a foreign country and experienced a great many things they never did and never will. The ten years I've been married and lived in this house is the most stability I've ever had. My political views reflect a mix of what I've experienced and what I believe in and I'm willing to discuss another POV that isn't total madness. 

My in-laws are firmly dug in and won't see what's happening right in front of them.

What is "going wrong" that your in-laws don't understand, but should understand?
What does it matter to a senior citizen in small town NC if someone on Twitter is "woke" or not?

It's not about who is woke on twitter, it's about continuing to vote for a party that has been hijacked by leftists who promote the things that are making traditional (or non-progressive democrats) feel as if they're "on the run" as the news article implied. The in-laws and many others like those in the article refuse to see how the progressives are the problem. 

As for your first question, don't be obtuse.
