People seem a bit more open to hearing it, and must be reminded of how easy it was to get them to turn, hatefully and dangerously, against those of us who were making a different lifestyle choice.
Honestly, I'm worried the only reason people seem more open to listening is that we're out of the obvious red zone, you know? I worry if the tables turned again, they'd be as deaf as they were the first time. Not that that should stop us speaking out of course.
Those of us who were not complying with the capricious and harmful dictates of our governments were not allowed to speak.
It stuns me, all the aggression and trauma that the past three years have caused. Because many of the collaborators (very apt word, that) won't even think of it as such, but the trauma of being made an outsider and a danger for wanting to protect yourself and your children...that runs deep, and there's no telling how it'll influence the coming years.
I discuss it there is often someone surprising in the room who supports me.
I've found that, too, though often in a bit of a phony way. Like my "normie" friends will hear that maybe the vax had side effects and wasn't such a godsend after all, but still end up playing the victim. Now they'll nod and say "yeah they tricked us", but their failure to see it then makes me doubtful about their chances in a future pandemic/catastrophe of this nature...
That tiny thought "they tricked us" is very important for the believers to have. It is a tiny dent in their force field against using simple logic for themselves, instead of following orders from their governments.
It will happen again. Not in the same way of course, that would be too easy for us to identify. Nuclear fallout incarceration, WWIII fervor, I think we are heading to war. Look at how many countries are opposing the US at present. It's all good.
I hope so. I really do. (That they wake up, not that we get to war, obviously)
