My parents have had complete TDS for years now. Literally, if POTUS came out in favor of breathing they would frantically call me to stop breathing.
Yesterday, I was able to convince my father that Trump has done at least 2 good things. He agreed that his hardline approach to China over human rights violations and the massive crackdown on human trafficking (things he hadnt heard about from lamestream media) were good. I took him from drumph is Hitler reborn to Trump has done some good as POTUS.
I count this as a major victory pedes! We can break though TDS with honest polite conversations.
Most likely. I'd say it's social media. My mother is addicted to Facebook. She was mad at me for deleting mine several years back. She only ever sees the leftist propoganda. It turned her from a moderate republican who dislike her union to a socialist in 5 years.
I agree. I've seen a lot of people who were fairly rational go totally off the deep end over the last few weeks, because they've all had more free time to spend on social media due to the lockdown.
They have been endlessly gaslit. Think about the polls from the 2016 election vs what actually happened. That type of cognitive dissonance broke a lot of people's minds. That my theory anyhow.
