It seems to me the phrase "They LIED to you" is becoming believable to even MAGAts

As the pandemic begins to eclipse the bad old days of last year, as masking is once again seen as reasonable and necessary, as hospitals are overwhelmed in what I'll call the denial states, as really small children - babies, really - are populating swamped ICUs, as all of this is happening, we are FINALLY starting to see vax rates and mask rates go up.

That's happening because the antis are becoming believers.

As they become believers - or at least accepters - they're start to consider how we got here.

It may now be time to pull their blinkers off and let them see the truth about what they were, and in fact are, being told about the virus and appropriate preventive measures.

Maybe not call them stupid (even though they may well be). Instead, make it someone else's fault.

Tell them they were lied to. By their governors. By their state legislatures. By their congress critters. By Facebook and Twitter.

Tell them they were LIED TO.

Nothing exposed your mind to the truth like a threat to your ass.

tells you something about how important their cult status is to them even if they're starting to realize this * is real.
