    Because since we believe in reality, and we’re not in a cult, it’s a lot harder to get us organized for anything.

    It’s why cults are so fucking dangerous in a democracy. How do you even fight people who refuse to compromise or accept reality?

    I mean, how many COVID deniers denied it up to their literal last breath? Plenty.

    We have skepticism and stepping back for self-reflection and considering other options. They have what their God Trump tells them, and that’s it.

        Hey, lots of us understand, that doesn’t make it any easier to organize other people.

          i guess we just have to keep saying it does. if you were trying to prepare, you’d want to start telling people now. it has to be an inescapable message in social media.
