Even after the lie is exposed...
- SALT -
A person who lies with high energy can confuse, mislead, and deceive others. However, even after the lie is exposed, people who have been deceived can still cling to their false beliefs. Many people are so convinced that they are right that they refuse to change their minds, even when presented with evidence to the contrary. The more wrong someone's beliefs are, the more stubbornly they will hold onto them.
The describes many on the left to a tee.
Could they not say the same about us?
What do you mean, the flat earther type? Mostly, with a few exception, we don’t ignore truth. We seek evidence, at least I do.
They don’t see that. Their perception is that we ignore “their” truth. They don’t think the way we do. I really think that they are neurologically programed, mentally sick. It will take a huge jolt to snap them out of it. Q always admonished us to think critically, to expand our thinking. What if some can’t.
Yes ^^^^
I have yet to see believable evidence of the firmament.
Watch utubes Linc I posted above
They do say that, but we do try to validate our beliefs to the best of our ability instead of trusting to authority.
Yes, we do. We research, study, reflect & then make a decision.
They do, but when provided with the truth we are willing to see it and change our views....
I think the difference between us we're are curious, and curious things we dig into for the solution - even if the answers proves our first impressions were wrong.
I know a trump supporter (with vax regret) and awaking up... but dealing with them is exhausting ....they switch their entire memory of our conversations around so that in the end (and we already agree) she's twisted around everything until she feels she is in the position of being "right". Ughhhh. She was liberal in her youth, and that need to be right is soo deep.
That is a horrific merry-go-round. I was on it. I’d have these deep thoughts & my environment was overwhelmingly liberal. If I shared my thoughts, I wouldn’t have friends. To a young person at the time, that is everything. I would cop out by not talking politics or religion. Thank goodness for Rush Limbaugh. I was a closet Conservative for decades, before Trump rode down the escalator! 🤣
Lol, I just don't understand the need of having to be "right".
Idk, I'm wrong a LOT and it's ok, it's not that they're just being stubborn ... I'm really stubborn lol.
I loved Rush too.
Which I think it is why it’s a mental health thingy!
Yeah. I think you're right. There's so much of it on so many spectrums....

It stopped so damn suddenly
Indeed. Which is why I’ve believed and caught flack for stating.
Any recovery is going to be the work of decades if not longer. Many People can’t or won’t immediately abandon ideas that in some cases have defined their lives and given them purpose. A retarded detrimental purpose. But a Purpose nonetheless.
There’s a colloquialism that would likely apply here “Science advances one funeral at a time.” Switch out Science for recovery and you’ll probably get a rough idea of the grinding slog ahead.
