When you've harbored negative emotions towards one party for decades, no rational argument can get rid of them. Politics is about emotions, not logic - read the book the "The Political Brain" by Drew Westen. For my parents, negative emotions are attached to Democrats. They feel that Democrats embody different values from the ones they were raised with. And that's true. Progressive values are a new and scary thing to many people, who have grown used to a certain way of thinking. For example, progressives are much less nationalistic, and conservatives just don't understand why anyone would be less than 100% behind America. They start from different factual premises. So they see Democrats trying to act patriotic, and they think Democrats are being insincere. That's true to some extent. So they falsely conclude that Democrats secretly hate America.
When you think one way for a very long time, it becomes almost impossible to see things differently. So that's why "the talk" is usually useless. But by no means should you hide your support for Obama.
