I think there are definitely a portion of the "asleep" crowd that KNOW but mentally cannot process it (yet) and so they keep their heads buried in the sand. Think about all the things we know and have seen and discovered. It's been a drip drip drip over years. And it's hard to process sometimes. Just one bad thing out of so many bad things can break a person mentally. We are not all built the same. Especially when you consider man vs woman. Women are more emotional creatures and we have to process things differently.

The five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. We're in the process of grieving for our country, our way of life, the friends and family who are still with us but NOT WITH us. Honestly, I'm probably still in the anger phase, even after all these years.

Every bad thing that drops sends little cracks in their psyches and those little cracks send out more cracks, like a cracked windshield over time that just keeps spreading. At some point there will be a complete shattering. I pray that these people don't become a liability at that point, vs becoming "one of us." Love her, pray for her, and everyone's mental health. We will all be very different when this is all said and done.

stay cool fren, we have to be patient for just a little while longer. hang with us and grab the popcorn.

I never understood why it was always just "drip drip" and crumbs and clues. The reasoning I've always heard was "if you show too much information people will get scared," that too much information about what's going on is so heinous and heartbreaking that people will freak out.

Well then why the hell would we wait until it's an undeniable reality for even more people? Why risk more lives just to protect feelings of people who don't even know it's happening?

It makes NO sense.
