When they are they are in their 60's, they are set in their ways. It's not going to matter what you say to her she will always be who she is. Just let her be herself, and you be proud of who you have become. Don't spend the next possible 10-15 she has left on Earth arguing over such matters. Your mom cannot be responsible for what her friend sends her.

I feel that having such arguments deprives your parents of their lifeforce, it will drain her, and for no good reason.

My mother is a Republican too, and cannot be told anything. It's best just to let them be and enjoy what time you have left with them. There is good in everyone.
