So many people I know who have to pretend to not see things. Ultimately, I think they are deeply afraid of being mocked or being wrong. The rest of us don’t really care what other people think—I just say that those morons should be worried about what we think of them!
On TV in general. My brother won't believe anything I say because he hasn't seen it on TV. BTW, my brother was a conserative until his wife changed him over to their side. I think her dad was in the club...died in a plane crash in early 40's.
One of my co-workers, I had to stop talking politics with. In 2016 he was all on the Trump train. His wife and her brother changed him over to their side by the 2020 election. When Covid19 was first being talked about he was shocked when I told him that I didn't trust the WHO.
I want so badly to ask him what HE thinks about WHO now - but I've left it alone "for now". He's one that you can lead to water... one who has to figure things out on his own - he knows I don't blindly trust what's being fed to us and knows if he REALLY wants to research, he can come to me - and that's enough for now.
We are back in the office for 2 days a week. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor listening to my left leaning co-workers talking shit about the Biden administration and wishing for the Trump days today. I never thought I'd see the day. Today all the talk was Biden's ridiculous "Putin's Inflation".
I've got a based boss (only four of us under him) - he never got the vaccine, ex military and just retired from National Guard. I think he had Covid in the early days in January 2020 - he had a respiratory thing he could not shake for several weeks.
Counting my boss - there are three of us who have always been awake and using alternate media sources and two who were firmly left leaning. Thankfully - the only one with young children is in the former group and refuses to have his child vaccinated.
Another guy was always left leaning and when we returned to work was like "something isn't right with Ukraine - they're talking about buildings being bombed and I'm watching live feeds at the same time there's breaking news and the live feeds don't jive with what the media is telling us". Oh grasshopper - if you only knew! Thankfully HE hasn't had his child vaccinated either - he started waking up early enough and is now actively asking me to share information with him.

I think Fox News is a major problem for sleepwalking conservatives. If they don't hear it there, they won't believe it. It's scary!

The same here. We planted the seeds.

But... But... they told me it is all lies.
You can lead a hirse to water but you cant save it from drowning.... seems appropriate in our situation...
You can lead a leftist to logic, but you can't make xir think.
Great twist on an old adage… love it
Horses quite enjoy a salt block in their stalls too but I don't think you could get a normie to use one
