Updooted, though I’ll quibble. I think the demons have been (cravenly, intentionally) able to create an army of NPC robots through the principle that once you can get people to mouth absolute insane things, such as “men can get pregnant”, or “saying ‘all lives matter’ is racist”, or “wanting to keep sexual deviants and groomers out of classrooms is hateful”, you can get them to rabidly believe anything. “COVID is so dangerous that we need to shut down the country and shred the constitution!”, “no evidence of election fraud!”, “Vaccines are safe and effective!”, “George Floyd is a murdered, martyred saint and a hero!”, “Jussie and Bubba proved that America is racist and ‘homophobic’!”, “if you don’t wear a mask, you are killing grandmas”, “beef is causing the world to burn up, and electric cars are ‘green’!” Utter insanity, but once you’ve been successfully programmed, critical though, evidence, and rationality and simply not accessible.
I agree with you on much of this, but I think some of the leftists - at least ones in my circle - are starting to feel uncomfortable. They may parrot some of the BS, but there are other lines they won't cross. The attrition is to strip off the ones who still have functioning brain cells. Most of them - I agree with you. If you're ever in a discussion with them and "corner" them in a logic argument, they freeze up, their eyes glaze over, they go silent, their head jolts and then come back with either a feigned disgust and/or change the topic. It's definitely a mental glitch, looks almost robotic.
Btw this post was clobbered by the mods (check the logs, probably on the second page by now) if you didn't already know. Apparently having contrary opinions is verboten. Must be nice to be king (or queen).
Happy New Year! Let's hope and pray this is a good year for We The People.
Hey @catsfive, if you have mods hiding good-faith, positively-received posts simply because their own comments were very poorly received… that’s not a mod with this site’s, and it’s purpose’s, best interest in mind. And I’d have to think that’s concerning, and corrosive. 🫤

Thanks, @ThinQ.
