I see a lot of people talking as if they're among the last dozen men at the Alamo. While I do understand the concern over current events and appreciate the dedication, we have GOT to stop letting them twist our perception of which side is larger and more effective. The biggest reason we feel so far and few between is the media. We know they lie about election polls but when they claim a poll showed everyone loves socialism, masks, gun control, etc. we just sheepishly believe them. Why? We should know better. Sure the real number is probably alarming but why would they not inflate it? They've increased the lies on every front over the past few years and we know polls are no exception. Sure when we're bombarded with propaganda we feel like the odd ones out, but is that the only factor? More fundamentally and my whole point, our ego loves the feeling of being part of a select few who know some big secret and the fewer of us there are, the more special, smarter, and unique each one of us gets to feel.

The simple fact is the subconscious conclusion our brains are making is that we are special, smarter, and morally superior to those who refuse to look at these things. It feels REALLY GOOD to think that way, and to be fair, it is true. But the problem is we get caught up in that feeling, so much so that we don't want to lose that special smarter and better status as more and more people wake up. In doing so, we become susceptible to demoralization doomer propaganda centered around being alone fighting a hopeless battle. I cannot describe just how much it helps them to get us thinking that way. Being one of the last men at the Alamo is a lot more satisfying to the ego than being one drop in the ocean. We are each one of many millions taking part in a relatively peaceful revolution based around the Constitution and rule of law. Doesn't make for the best action movie but it is who and what we are, even if it doesn't always feel like it.
