I haven't watched tv on a regular basis in a loooong time.
One thing I have noticed, and I am curious if any of you have experienced this as well; When I talk to people that are liberal that still watch tv and the news regularly, I can tell they are brainwashed to the extreme, no exaggeration, almost every single time.Whenever I try to engage in conversation with them, not being aggressive at all, just talking and making sure I am being respectful while doing so, they still almost always seem to get over-defensive, and when presented with actual facts, they just shut down/ change the subject/ don't want to talk about it anymore.
Has anybody else here had a similar experience?
Absolutely. At Christmas with my inlaws the wanted to talk about COVID and stated they were ready for things to get back to normal. I asked them if they knew how we could as a country get rid of it in 2 weeks or less. They were all ready for the solution. When I said everybody has to turn their TV off it was like they had been gut punched. Pretty funny because it shines a light on who is indoctrinated and brainwashed.
