My husband and I often wonder, how is it that so few of us are immune to the brainwashing. Is there something in the water or food? It all defies logic and reason, yet “we” are the crazy ones. I admire your tenacity. But if you don’t fight for Miss Miller, who will?

In my husband's case, he was more attached to his TDS than he was to me. He realized it and apologized. I think that explains many a lefty, including, before trans, me. I didn't want to hear one criticism of obama, clinton, gore, clinton, etc. brainwashed people plug their ears when it comes to the reality of, say, what trans ideology does to women, gay people and children. it took humility to realize I was a dupe for the left.

None of us are completely immune to brainwashing, because we are all social creatures.

But those of us who've knowingly suffered the consequences of BS and have thus learned a healthy hate for it, we're the most resistant.

Oh my god, Mrs. This just tugged at my heartstrings. I tried to avoid a) knowing and b) talking about what is going on in the world with various friends and loved ones, and either way, I feel isolated and alone. I don't have kids, but I feel empathy towards what you are going through, because if I DID have kids, I would be going through it. Where do you live? I think we should have coffee some time! :)

Hi Mrs Miller. That is exactly how I feel when I try to explain why it is that I hold the opinions that I have. My loved one has already heard the verdict and won’t even let me have my say. It hurts so much to be dismissed as if I am a fool, and I wonder if this is something we will be able to overcome without it destroying our relationship.

It's a betrayal. And they don't see it till we are gone. I try to remember that as idiotic as he believed I was, I thought the same of my husband for staying on the left. But yeah it's a shitty side effect of waking up. Oh and you are not a fool. We know that.

Your link game as always is beyond compare, Mrs. M.

I think that the people who say they've gone from being generally very left to very right, or vice-versa, tend to have a problem with being very very.

It's evidence of a tendency toward shallow analysis and reactive thinking.

Rubin comes across as an unprofessional ignorant fool, Elder is brilliant and makes some great points calling out some of the choicest BS on the left in regard to race.

But some of his talking points in that video also fail to withstand diligent scrutiny.

Those of us who eventually get over the shock of realizing we've been lied to, manage to retain and nurture our integrity and ability to think critically and resist tribalism, see that liars can be found on all sides of most debates.
