I’m inclined to agree. I lost my grandfathers years ago, but I’ve gone through this thought exercise a lot since this all kicked off:
Assuming they don’t already know: would I shelter a 90+ year old veteran from home-grown horrors that they’ll never live to see resolved, or let them shuffle off this mortal coil blissfully ignorant?
Honestly, this is a situation where the truth simply won’t do any good. I’d probably just not tell them and keep those soaps and old movies on repeat.
They’re all 90+. Do you think someone that old is doing anything besides watching soap operas?
Watching Fox News?

“hey gramps, the government is full of nazis, any advice?”
“huh, kill them all, you say? good advice gramps”
I’m not sure I could tell one if I knew one either.
Some are nosy neighbors. No age limit on that shit
Eh…sit in government, from what I can see? They really seem to enjoy that.
Depends on the person, I know a 93 year old who stays informed and still wants to understand what is going in the world.
