The whole thing stinks to high heaven! How stupid do they think we are? (Rhetorical) Seriously?!!

My sister and brother in law (rabid liberals) said, they just don’t want people lying to them 🤦🏻‍♀️ they honestly think the left is spewing truth…OH and my sis (who is very smart) Northwestern grad a bunch of masters degrees…said “there is nothing wrong with Biden” 😳 how do you even have a conversation with the gaslighting she’s gotten?

Simple, you don’t or you can’t, it’s impossible to try to make sense with someone that has already make their mind. If they agree with you it means that they have to automatically accept that they have been wrong all along and not to many people have that kind of integrity, specially the very smart ones. By the way same problem here…I just don’t touch the subject when we have to be together.

Exactly. None of my highly educated friends did their due diligence when it came to the clot shot. Some listened to me but went ahead and took the needle.

Once I determine someone is brainwashed, I just go away. I'm not into a conflict with a crazy person. And I run into them here and there on my podcast. The only rule of my podcast is "no politics"; I'm interested in the human journey. But the libs invariably have to say something, even if it's after recording. What is it with these people????

Like Vegans and Crossfitters. They just can't shut up about their cult!

It's so bizarre. I spoke to someone the other day who was all about "unity" but as soon as the podcast was over, she/he reverted to their true self and started screaming "how could anyone be so stupid to not believe in Climate warming." This was out of the blue and had nothing to do with our conversation. I gave my standard response: "I think the issue is really about whether we've been good stewards of the earth, and the answer is clearly no". They had no response for that. It didn't fit their activist paradigm and they certainly couldn't go off their well memorized talking points. They swim in a different pond, and simply cannot see they are programmed the way they are.

Unfortunately, being “book smart” and possessing logic and common sense, that are much more important in the real world, appear to be mutually exclusive (not always, but in many cases). I worked at a university for many years and witnessed it first hand with the professional academic class.

I witnessed it with someone who, on paper, was perfect. In the real world, not so much.

I totally agree!! I’m the street smart/logical one out of my sisters. My brother has that going for him as well. He and his wife (CA residents) are HUGE TRUMP fans. BUT only after they saw what was happening to media and them persecuting the man. Anyway, my sis is just so dug in I honestly feel sorry for her.

I can barely have a conversation with my college educated friends in upstate New York. So glad I’m in Florida now.

Makes me glad I failed out of college years ago! I was ashamed for years. ( I was drinking too much. Got help after)

I failed high school, but got a job in a bank at 15. I enrolled in Uni when I was 40. Graduated SCL... Being an older student, I was well equipped to sort the bullshit.

I took a few classes later, definitely advantages to being a “ returning student “ . Thanks for your comment!

Well I barely made it out…BUT started my own business and have kept my head above water. I love being a logical thinker, it’s kept me alive and well during some shakey times.

Gigi ... you resonate. I keep thinking that if one's mind is cauterized by an incessant spewing of lies, at some point one is no longer genuinely human, but rather a mental cyborg owned by the state, the Deep State ... or whatever Invisible Hand Controlling.

The tearing apart of natural human relations is an act of warfare plain and simple. What has happened in the Western World is a tragedy as great as what happen to Russia in 1917. If one throws in the C19 bioweapon, maybe worse if only in enlargement of scale.

It is strange that 'smart' people are not always so 'smart'. And it kind of overturns the apple cart on what is 'smart'. It's looking like 'smart' needs the necessity of God and Scriptural Wisdom to even have a hope of being smart. Smart without wisdom and true knowledge is useless.

My sis used to work for the Catholic Church. One of her Masters was religious education. I could go on but honestly I fell sorry for them, it’s divided us siblings to a certain point. Which just breaks my heart…I won’t even get into the whole vax thing, that was another ridiculous psyop they believed in strongly.

My dad was a recovering Catholic. He’d take a walk in the woods every Sunday. He’d be shocked at what’s going on these daze.

Even when C19 is most widely disbelieved (and it slowly working its way there), it is likely that some 30% will still believe The Magic Flu Story.
