I had a very interesting conversation with my exceedingly left thinking, brainwashed brother in law today. I have learned to hold my thoughts with him in the interest of family harmony, but it was instructive to hear how he thinks.
He told me, "Did you hear that SCOTUS actually passed a law that said politicians are now going to be able to make the rules, rather than scientists who know better?"
Don't get me started on wny he thinks SCOTUS can pass laws, but it just goes to show how indoctrinated these people are to "trust the science." They truly believe we should all surrender our sovereignty to any unaccountable bureaucrat that has gone through an indoctrinating academy to get a couple of letters after their name.
I'm honestly not sure how you break the spell these people are under, but it is clear the current tactics being used by the Whitehats aren't working. We may not see it from our perspective, but the cult members definitely are not waking up.
Tell him to read the U.S. Constitution regarding how SC(r)OTUS is set up and what their responsibilities are. This is something every 12 yr old learns in 7th Grade Civics Class, and then again in H.S. American Government and American History (or should be learning).
Or, you could always just kick the ant hill and tell him he's a brainwashed idiot and leave it at that.
