I can remember (don't Boomer me, okay?) when religious cults were seen as such a problem that you could get a job as a "de-programmer." (This was a big thing in the 70's.) Parents would hire them to remove (sometimes downright abduct) their brainwashed teenage children, then put them in a room, for hours at a time, day after day, tag-teaming them, doing exactly what Raindrops1984 was doing to his/her friend: "torturing" them with facts and logic and common sense till they just broke down and went sane.
Millennials even in their 30s are emotionally arrested by our dumbed-down education system. They have the emotional maturity of juveniles. They need to be de-programmed even worse than those cult-brainwashed teens of the 70's. Because the cult is nationwide--it is an entire political movement made of emotionally damaged, mentally underdeveloped young people, led by crooks and exploited by corrupt politicians.
When everything you believe in is obvious lies, thats a normal reaction
When reality is twisted by lieing, there are consequences.
I see this in my own life.
yep, cognitive dissonance.
People dont like it when they find out they are wrong and have been lapping up the wrong for years. It truly fucks with a persons brain.
