The thing about denial is that it eventually comes crashing down. Cognitive dissonance takes a lot of energy to maintain, even if it's unconscious. The libs on the big instances are in a precarious place because they're not grounded in reality; even if they ignore what we've told them now, they won't be able to do so forever.

Well, they denied Nazis working in multiple governments in high levels the world over for almost a century. I hope you are right.

I choose to believe that we are not some special few, gifted with secret knowledge or special ability but instead the canaries in the coalmine, just the first of many who are perhaps most sensitive to the disinformation environment we are in. Eventually what we know to be true will become undeniable.

I hope so. Palestinians are almost final solutioned. I hope it doesn't come to that for the other para/militarily bullied nation states.
