They’ve been smacked in the face with a lot of truths:

Any friends or family die from the vax? Have they seen people suffering in North Carolina as they live in tents in the winter cold? Do they not know the covid virus didn’t come from a bat? Have they heard rumblings about stolen elections? I could go on for days. The truth is out there, as shiny and glaring as a headlamp. You have to literally contort your mind and body like a pretzel not to see it.

My point is, they don’t want to see the truth. They have created a beautiful California bubble to live in. They’re not going to let you pop it. My daughter does the same thing: airline pilot hubby, beautiful baby, happy home in a gorgeous New England state, great friends, a doodle dog, a European stroller and granite countertops. She will jump over my backyard fence and run away before hearing ONE MORE WORD about the downfall of America. She’ll pay $10 for a gallon of milk rather than ever, ever hear the truth. Even when the truth shows signs of dismantling her life; her little vaxed family is sick all of the time and she has a new autoimmune disease.

A therapist once told me that everything one does works for them in some way—they get something out of it, even if they’re a victim. All the people who cover their ears and eyes? What are they getting from their ignorance? A chance to continue living their lives, hoping not seeing the truth will give them another day in their bubble.

Deep inside? They know. I promise you they do.

Very sorry about your daughter. Most of us have at least one family member that is hopelessly brainwashed.

Sadly, I think you are right that they know something is off about their reasoning, but they know that if they swallow the red pill they will no longer “fit in” with the cool kids. They can’t risk it. In many social circles being MAGA or being a “science denier on climate change” is worse than having leprosy. Better to stay in the bubble, unaware and virtue signal to the “right people”.

It’s beyond frustrating!

Your last sentence - I 100% agree. This is why, when you try to tell them the truth, they completely explode. They have the mentality of 2 year olds, when something happens they don't like, they put their hands over their eyes and say "it's not happening because I can't see it." A hallmark of immaturity and narcissism.

They remind me of those dolls way back in the day that had a cord you could pull to make them speak. There are only so many pre-recorded messages the record can handle. Everything they believe has been basically programmed into them over the course of their lives, reinforced by the media.

Chatty Cathy: “I’m hungry”. “Will you play with me?”

Some dolls say, The Jews are God's chosen people. Real Christianity says that Christians are.

What if there is no chosen people? Or what if all peoples are?

I once had a girlfriend who had a doll that kind of creeped me out a bit, and I said as much. It may have been both or either a collector's or childhood heirloom piece.

In any event, since the doll and I were sometimes sharing the same room-- we used it as the home office-- I noticed one day that my girlfriend had repositioned the doll so it directly faced me where I was sitting at the desk.

In retrospect, it may have been the same girlfriend who had onced casually asked me to the effect of what pushed my buttons. Suffice to say, I strategically avoided the question altogether since the 'doll incident'.

I find that to be true of all of us.

And now Musk derangement syndrome. Not that I care for the guy, after all, he is a psychopath. I'm just sharing my observations of my deranged brother after he got the death jab. He is mentally deranged and full of hate now.

"They know. I promise you they do."

I think they do too. You can see it behind the eyes - the sheer terror when you "go there."

It's why the material trappings are so important to these people as they are armor and distraction. At some point soon that won't work anymore and all their efforts will seem pathetic.

This must be so very difficult to see with your daughter and grandchildren and yet be powerless to change. We've all felt this since 2020. Sometimes I think it's like being "bashed" with lessons of humility.

Do they not know the covid virus didn’t come from a bat? do they not know there is no evidence that viruses have ever existed? but killer maimer vaccines do. . . we all have a lot to learn.
