Your parents are boomers. There is no saving the boomers. The best strategy I have found is to not attempt to engage them with anything more intellectually challenging than, "what do you wanna make for dinner tonight?", to not engage with any of the drivel the comes periodically out of their mouths at what I expect to be the same rhythm with which they flush the toilet, and on the off chance that they ever try more than once to get me to engage with their banal auditory diarrhea, I laugh in their faces and walk away. These people are beyond saving, do not waste any more mental effort thinking about them. Thank them for being the conduit through which you came to exist, but beyond that, you owe them nothing. And you especially do not owe them the favor of stooping to their level to explain that there is nuance in the statement, 'Swedes on average are taller than Puerto Ricans'.

Now that I think about it, most people are like this, even outside of the typical 'boomer' definition. The same applies though: do not engage, ignore their attempts to engage, and if necessary, shut them down with laughter, change of subject, ending the conversation, etc etc.
