    The really sad thing is all the people I know who are sucked into this brainwashing are, for the most part, kind and good people. You would never know they are brainwashed until one of these topics comes up and bam crazy words spewing from their mouth!

    When this happens I feel genuinely bad for them. I also know trying to flat-out convince them is futile, so I’ve taken to secretly planting seeds of doubt which I hope will one grow grow to fruition. I’m proud to say it’s worked with one of them so far!

    Undoing brainwashing tactics is really, really hard… and I just think it’s absolutely despicable that these propagandists prey upon people.
