Unreal. I keep asking, how did we get here, but then I read a few of sub or Jax posts, and I understand. Sad.

Let's take a Jersey psych break because I just saw something that made me nuts. So there I was watching videos of (you're not going to believe this) an LDS group called Gentri (I'm not joking) while cutting up paper (don't ask) and crying my little baby eyes out for no good reason at all except, I dunno, the world has gone mad and I'm waiting it out like everyone else and their dog and so then I decided to suck it up and shift gears and give a look on Facebook whereupon I read this comment by someone I've known for I dunno 15 years or more (more), who is not exactly my age but close and she posts a Facebook rant about how the security at the Capitol as NOT lax and that the protesters went through the building between the velvet ropes just like tourists and basically the crowd was peaceful and I dunno all what other BS.

And then I came right here because now I feel like the world really has gone right into the ditches or maybe it's just me.

Is there something fundamentally wrong with people? Can't the see the photos? The videos? Haven't they heard the reports by folks from all sides? HOW can you live in this world for the past, I dunno what day it is, 4 days or whatever with all of this evidence in YOUR FACE from like I said...ALL SIDES...and still take on a position like that in full public view?

I think I have lost my mind.

You haven’t lost your mind. Exposure to people who have is disorienting. Confirmation bias is real and it is powerful. And once you get people who effectively dismiss any evidence that causes them discomfort as “fake news,” what you are seeing is what happens.

I am sitting here wondering what the holy goddamn “F” I just read. I know what I read. Holy crap, I just looked at it again mid sentence. This person says it's not about not accepting that Trump lost. WHAT? And how conservatives are now being censored. WHAT?

I am not the smartest person on the planet. I know that. I know I'm not completely stupid. I know that. I know what I saw happening last week. I saw it happening right in front of my face. And now this person is in denial about what really happened? HOW in possible hell could she say these things? I don't get it.

Okay, so it's okay with me if folks think that Trump was the best thing since sliced bread. They're entirely welcome to their point of view but to DENY REALITY? Are you damned kidding me? This is someone I KNOW in real life. I've been in their home. I mean, I know this person...WELL.

Or at least I thought I did and now I don't ever want to see this person again in my entire life because what if she discusses this with some kind of glazed look in her eyes like she believes this crap?

I swear, if I could get one of those flights to nowhere right now, I would be on my way to the airport.
