“They are caricatures of every villain we were trained to identify as evil in our fancy liberal schools. And they cannot see it at all. “ Indeed. And they were the first “friends” to kick us to the curb and gleefully wish us death based on jab status. I recently reconnected with my Ivy League educated friend from childhood who initially chastised me and gaslit me when the jabs rolled out. I laughed, showed myself out, and moved to the free state of FL. 2 years later she’s texting me that it’s “been way too long that we haven’t gotten together” and she’d love to visit me. Yeah, no. Tone deaf doesn’t even begin to describe these people who have ironically and hypocritically overplayed their hand.

Good for you. I'm in the same boat...you can't un-see what you've seen once you see this side of a person. I don't know how to come back from that. For me it's not even about forgiving or any of that...it's a genuine disgust and a concern for what they could be talked into doing to us in the future.

They haven't learned a thing. I had a similar situation where someone who banned me from attending a social function wanted to come visit. Seriously??????

I was banned from the family Christmas dinner table last year.

This year we hosted. All are jabboosted except me.

What time and purposeful forgetfulness does ...

I’m glad you had them over. I still maintain good contact with my jabbed family. We just don’t talk about it anymore.

Same here with my family but I think they are regretting it now. I begged and cried for them not to get it. My aunt disinvited us, the unvaxxed, to Christmas dinner we have gone to since 1987 and then died a month later with turbo cancer. Surreal.

She isn't the only one getting rare sicknesses either with lots of medications for them.

I'm going to love them and not live in fear. This is probably going to get worse.

It just so happens Fauci stepped down right before the leak and gain of function became mainstream? He needs to be put in Epstein's cell.

Do you think they've learned anything?

...depends on how they see themselves, and how introspective —And if they imbibe NPR/PBS. And who their friends are. And what they’ve personally witnessed. Many have a dawning sense of unsettled confusion and distrust but don’t know what it is or what it means. They will. Those who easily rationalize their errors and sins will be the toughest nuts.

Be gentle with your conscientious, honest people. Forgive them for they knew not what they did. The con wave was big and wide and very difficult to resist. Unless, that is, one was already prone to be something of a nutcase — oops — I mean to be a discerning INDIVIDUAL.

God Bless

I have found that when family, or "friends", say

" I don't want to talk politics " - it's really just code for:

" I don't want to talk YOUR politics ".

And quite honestly? I gave up long ago - and a couple have recently seen at least a bit of "the light" - and now I really prefer to not deal with them.

When you see FB posts, for example, suggesting DEATH TO THE UNJABBED -

yeah. Not for me, thx.

You've noticed this too? One of my mother's friends used to do that. She would make a jab at conservatives, and then say how she didn't talk politics.

that meant "shut up, I don't want to hear from you."

Yes go on and on about their jabs and boosters and if say anything counter to it they are not going to talk about it.

By their fruits we shall know them (and choose to avoid some of 'em). We can choose to follow the Lord's instruction and forgive ... and at the same time follow Paul's guidance and avoid those who bring dissension into the community.

Well said and yes I forgive her. I just don’t want to spend any more time with people who are philosophically opposed to my basic views anymore. I spent decades being scolded by this bunch- intimidated by their credentials. It’s liberating to know I can finally just walk away guilt free and surround myself with people that share my values. They will continue to claim that it’s “unhealthy” to live in an “echo chamber.” I reject the premise that it is an echo chamber-- they really are tone deaf. And stupid.
