Mortal shame is why I have so far been unsuccessful in red pilling my extended family. They're almost all hardline, dyed blue Leftists. When Trump ran for office in '16, they all voted for Bernie. In '20, they all voted for Buyden.
At Thanksgiving dinner, I had the pleasure of talking to one of them, my older cousin. I got a glimpse inside her psyche and decision making process in her decision to get jabbed and also a good look at why she's so hardcore leftist. Shes a NPR listener. She also told me that she decided to get jabbed because 1)she has to work as she's the major bread winner, and 2) b cause she's an OT (occupational therapist) she has access to "the research" and peer reviewed papers on these coof jabs. That she discussed them with the Dra she works with and they ALL assured her it was safe and effective. Btw, she works in an ALF.
At that point, I turned out because I knew it would be pointless to drop some knowledge and science on her. Her advanced degree makes it almost impossible. She literally believes that because she works in yh medical field, albeit as an OT, that she knows better than the rest of us.
I also have an Uncle who literally said that because he has a PhD (in philosophy, btw), that the rest of us should take his word for gospel, too. This is how these people think. It's disgusting behaviour, actually. Makes me sad, too. The Uncle has prostate cancer and is getting worse. The cousin has high blood pressure and it's also been getting worse. They're health has worsened since taking the coof jabs. Yet, they're haughty, self agrandizing behaviour won't let them admit they even might be wrong. So, as far as I'm concerned, they're on their own with this. I can't do anything for them. If I try, it'll only make matters worse.
