Yes, but...I still can't see a sizeable proportion of the populace being willing to do this Q always estimated 4-6%...and I think it's bigger than that.

Take my sister for instance...she would rather DIE than admit that everything she's believed in as an adult is liberal horseshit...let alone admit that she's been mostly WRONG all of that time. I'm not kidding...if any truth comes out about ANY of what we discuss here, her mind will short-circuit and she'll curl up in a fetal position for weeks.

We were the closest two siblings, but she cut ME out of her life completely when SHE was shitting all over conservatives when Saint Ruth Ginsberg kicked off a few years ago (and I had the nerve to CALL her on it), and then she cut myself AND my wife out completely when we elected not to get the poison shots.

So, yeah...she's NOT alone. Even if she (and THEY) ever start to accept it, their pride will never let them admit they were/are WRONG, and that they owe apologies to some in their lives. I won't be holding my breath. But I'll also never trust her again. Forgiveness, yep, I'm working on that -- but trust, she'll never earn that back.
