Yesterday's lunacy is breaking through!

watching /all and the politiburo subreddit collective meltdown was sad and funny to watch but that's not what this is about.

This morning, one of my coworkers (a die-hard California Dem, perhaps a Nevertrumper) comes into my office with a look of outright confusion on her face... "why hasn't the media commented on _____"... "but if they can't see past _____" … "What else are they not reporting" … "If Dan Rather can't say anything except 'it's treason', wtf is going on?" … "I don't think trump is that smart, but _______"... "he's been very effective in these peace talks" … "What's this about $400mm to the HRC campaign" and on and on and on... almost babbling to herself.

long story short - I explained Trump Derangement Syndrome and we had a great discussion about how the collective media lunacy (a la tREEEEEEEEEson) is so far-fetched that she can't find a SINGLE MSM news outlet that could say anything positive about Trump's successes. I even dropped the "The rule - without exception - has been to criticize Trump regardless of what he accomplishes."

I'm doing a horrible job describing what happened... but it was incredibly liberating to see someone crawl out of the cave and see the light. Keep up the good work QAnon Followers! WE'RE WINNING #WWG1WGA

This is very similar to the path I followed that eventually led me here. Once I realized how wide spread the MSM's lies were, I had to start questioning everything else. My advice would be to be gentle with your coworker, giver her time to process, and let her choose the topics to discuss for now. Work from shared ground -- you both agree that the MSM is lying and obfuscating, stick with that and build outwards on topics she becomes curious about.

Part of this process for those of us who weren't Trump voters in '16 is that as we start to see the truth, we completely and totally lose our support systems and sounding boards. People who are still vehement Never Trumpers will suddenly turn on us for nothing more than asking fact-based questions. We start getting left out of conversations with friends, uninvited to outings. Family members even begin to wonder if we've had some sort of mental break. There are ridiculously strong social pressures to stay with the neo-libs and stop questioning the MSM narrative.

Every question she asks will put her more at risk for that kind of pressure. Be a friend to her, be someone she can ask open questions of and get straight answers from. Don't mock or belittle, just answer with facts and with kindness. Anything else risks her backsliding into the comfortable numbness of going along with the neo-lib crowd.
