Think about it. You are a normie that is attentive to the news, never suspecting you were being lied to. Your identify as an American and a Patriot and your country and your government always do the right thing.
This has been your life for decades. In fact it was almost every Americans life pre 2016. We may disagree with some things our government did but we never for a single moment thought they were deliberately sabotaging America. We all had differing opinions on how to do things but left or right we all wanted what was best for our country.
Then covid. You being a Patriot want to do the right thing for your countrymen. So you mask up, isolate and vax. Then you vax again. And then get a booster. But you still get sick. You see the rumblings coming from the edges of the internet that the vax is a bioweapon. But that cant be, we are all American Patriots.
Then you see your friends coming down with strange maladies. You hear the died suddenly numbers. More and more information leaks into your sphere. You start to get scared, youve now had 4 shots and had your kids vaxxed too. So you bury it in your subconscious. You deny the Truth. You argue with anyone who goes against this view because the consequences are too terrible to think about. You lie awake at night asking yourself "What have I done?"
I believe there are a great many people in this situation and not all of them voted for Hillary or Biden or Obama. Some voted for Trump. I see this among some in my own family. Trump voters who really dont want to talk about the vax because they know they fucked up when they didnt listen to me in 2020.
Humans have an amazing ability to compartmentalize bad news, shove it into the inner recesses of our minds just so that we can continue to function. Challenge that and you get reactions like what you describe.
Is it stupidity or denial?
