This story likely an anomaly and not indicative of any kind of trend. Anon is still optimistic, but not seeing lefties waking up in meaningful numbers. Anon has drastically cut down on the lefties I engage with, but the few that anon still keeps in touch with are digging in their heels. Even in the face of incontrovertible proof, the stick. They still regurgitate old Trump Russia and Charlottesville tropes. They cling to the laptop is Russian disinformation despite glaring evidence to the contrary. They love Fauci & don't hesitate to roll up their sleeves whenever a new booster comes out. They still think J6 is the worst thing that ever happened to this nation, stand with Ukraine without even a hint of skepticism, and firmly believe 2020 voter fraud is a conspiracy theory. With each new revelation, instead of reacting with surprise or curiosity, they seem to get angrier and more vitriolic. Any anons seeing anything resembling a mass awakening? Moderates seem to be waking up, but the committed left doesn't seem like it has budged. The gaslighting appears to have been very effective, and anon suspects the Q estimate of 4% to 6% who are lost forever will be way higher.
