You wear your mask, even though they have no health benefit and the mask mandates were never based in fact.
You shut down your business and stayed home from work and school, so every person in town can all go to Wal-Mart at the same time, and you thanked them for it.
You get whipped up into a frenzy over every media hoax, then when it's proven to be a fake made-up narrative, you just move on.
You refuse to consider any factual basis in truth or reality, and instead just morph every argument into "racism".
You have been abused, and you love your abuser.
You are in a cult.
If you stop berserking for 5 minutes and question even 1 part of the fake narrative you've devoted yourself to, you'll see a crack in the facade.
