The mental gymnastics with these people, and not just with Trump but literally everything - vax, war, voting, racism, gas prices, you name it. I have heard ZERO complaints from any of the liberals I know about the high gas prices. I feel like they WANT to complain but are just biting their tongues on that one issue. Maybe I just don't have many liberal friends. I'm certainly not privy to what they complain about in the privacy of their own homes so who knows.
My observations are the same. They have no mind of their own anymore; all they can do is parrot out what they've been told to "think". I recently brought up the gas price subject with a moderate leftist and immediately got "Oh, the price has come way down. Yeah, it's back down now, almost $3." When I replied that "It was under $2 just a couple years ago." I was cut off as I tried to continue, talked over, subject changed, the usual leftist BS. Never ends.
I agree with u/PepeSee here that the underpinning of this is fear. They were terrorized by the plandemic and now whatever their FNM puppet masters tell them to "think" is what they parrot out. In their minds their very survival depends on following the diktats of their tormentors. They have been told to reject any information that the FNM has not approved because that information is dangerous. I've sent some of these people information about the dangers of the experimental drugs and they refuse to even read it! One of them told me "Oh, that's from a partisan source." This same idiot, a far left liberal, got shingles and developed neurological problems after their jabs. I gave up. They need to hear what to "think" from their FNM. Choices have consequences.
We have some here who periodically caterwaul about reading anything from FNM, but fortunately they're few and far between. I hold my nose and wade into that cesspool from time to time to take the pulse of what the beast system is feeding the sheep and to get a feel for their strategy and tactics. I've found over time the blood pressure spikes (from the infuriating lies and vitriol) have abated to a large degree. When leftists have sent me articles I read them, send them back an article refuting the claims made and, 9 out of 10 times they won't read them. The only one topic I got traction on was the drug price game and the lefty was stunned.
Refusing to read information from a friend who is trying to warn you that there are dangers from an experimental drug you're looking to inject into your body is the result of a whole other level of brainwashing. I've often thought that the statement about having to be shown (vs just told) applies to us as well because up until a few years ago I never would have believed that my leftist friends were this far gone.
Regarding your comment on power, I wrote this in a recent post comment - "I was musing on this topic recently. At least for the leftists I know who are steadfastly holding onto their warped notions that the Potatus and his leftist minions aren't destroying the country, it's as if the inept, undeserving want their turn steering the vehicle no matter what. They're not capable of producing anything but destruction, but will never admit it because pretending they're not driving the country off the edge of the proverbial cliff is better, in their minds, than having competent people running things while they take a back seat."
The mask Nazis are particularly ironic. The FNM "empowered" the sheep to feel they owned the moral high ground, that only jab-adopters and mask-adopters are virtuous, that they're the only truly caring individuals, yadda, yadda. Forget the fact that the genocidal gnome Fauci actually stated years ago that masks are detrimental or that others who have researched stated that they're detrimental or that it even says that they do not stop viruses right on the box. (Then, of course there was the 2020 "masks aren't useful", "masks are necessary", "you need two masks", "three masks are better", "screaming, violent BLM rioters don't need masks because scyence" dance from the genocidal gnome and, still, nothing sunk in to the sheep brains to jolt them).

I'm going to have to read Rand's essay you referenced. Thank you for bringing it up. It's always interesting seeing this struggle was happening generations (and centuries and millennia) ago, delving into the current tactics the beasts are employing. In a sense it can give one hope that decent people the world over and through the ages, with far less formidable tools than we have now, have been able to overcome the beasts. While I realize that not all patriots have faith, personally I attribute all good things including these tools to the Lord as blessings from Him. The printing press was one such tool, the internet (and various social media) is a current tool. It's no small wonder the beasts spared no expense monopolizing the social media functions and censoring out the sane voices.
I’ve heard some complain. It’s laughable though. One said that, “….well some things the current administration has to deal with are the results of the previous administration….”. I couldn’t help but call that out in soooo many ways! It didn’t matter though….that person was never going to admit accountability without first blaming Trump for at least a part (or the start) of it. They (dems) REALLY hate Trump.

It's true. My hard-left brother-in-law blames all our current shortages and high prices on "Donald Trump's economic policies."
Of course, when pressed to tell us exactly which economic policies he means, he somehow can't come up with a single example.
Which is why slowly waking these people up is a waste of time. Rip the band aid off
That will come, and though not as quickly as we'd like, likely sooner than we expect.
The normies who aren't retarded but simply confused are still waking up and each day our ranks grow.
Your sister sounds cool
Here's the super secret super secret. They say the exact same things we do, but blame it on different people or circumstances.
The cost of food et al is what I hear about, regardless of what side of the fence anyone sits.
