Guys... these people genuinely believe they are "in the right" with these protests.
It's really sad.
I was at a "conference" today and at lunch two women started talking about the protests...I played super dumb and aloof:
What are they protesting?
"Oh ...hands off healthcare, hands off social security, hands off Medicaid, Elon getting government $ through Tesla, loss of govt jobs" etc etc
I kept my mouth clamped shut and just observed because A) I was outnumbered and more importantly, B) I think the number is WAY MORE than 4-6%.
We've got SO MUCH work to do to unphuck people's brains.
You have to remember.... MOST people are VERY far removed from actual productive work and especially, physical work/toiling for a living. It's been "easy money" mostly pushing paper in the air conditioning. Okay... It's been EASY MONEY for a long, long time.
Furthermore, these people have absolutely NO CLUE where money actually comes from, how money flows and where exactly all these social benefits come from and who REALLY pays for them. They honestly believe government is a never ending "daddy Warbucks" who magically has all this money to throw around with no cost to anyone.
Things have been SO EASY for so long, that these entitlements are now EXPECTATIONS... and no matter how much is doled out, it's NEVER enough. Somehow, the world OWES THEM things that in no way shape or form have any business near government... and in many cases, the expectation is ,- Give me the gibs, while simultaneously giving you, the one paying for it, the finger 🖕🏻 (nice, right?)
Reality is VERY FAR AWAY from these people and I'm not sure a single dose is enough to get people thinking right again. The 5 year old mentality of your average person reigns supreme, where the old tried and true "blame game" a la orange man bad, is a conveniently easy way to blame others and completely avoid the realities of personal responsibility.
It's really sad to witness firsthand... because these people genuinely believe they're on the right side of the proverbial argument... Nothing could be further from the truth.
They need to see some of their heroes and leaders popped for fraud, theft and treason, en masse - plastered all over the MSM and Faceplant... but it's gonna take an absolutely HUGE happening to get these people to SEE what we've known for years already... they're so asleep...so drunk on the Kool aid and to top it all off, they're very arrogant. Nothing like arrogance coupled with ignorance...
