FBEL – They’re Eating Their Own

Many of you know that I’m on TikTok. I’m on it less since the outage around the election, only because they haven’t definitively decided what’s happening to it yet. Still, I find it a useful way to find out what “people in general” are thinking. It’s also very interesting to me to see what people post from TikTok to Facebook. Me, I post up images of jelly capybaras in coconut soup, wildcat kittens with massive murder mittens, and the occasional moose or bear video. Once in a while I post political stuff, but mostly not, and mostly very “center” in nature.

Yesterday, I started seeing the posts from people who were blaming Texas for the floods. First, it was about how this was all Trump’s fault, because the BBB cut people from the weather service. Then it was no big deal because (and I quote) “it was all just white Christian girls.” Then they blamed the meteorologists for not doing enough. And then they started getting onto people’s cases because the orange man is bad.

Somewhere in there, I ran into a lovely blue-haired lady with nose piercings. I admit, I braced myself. While not universally true, quite a lot of blue-haired nose piercing types are … well, not people I enjoy listening to. This young woman admitted freely that she was a democrat, and then went on to express shock and horror that some of her leftist “friends” were talking about how Texas got what they deserved, that they voted for this, and the rest.

She had a light bulb moment. She actually says, “They’re talking about immigrants being deported from the country just because of where they were born, but then say bad things about this horror in Texas and children drying, and those people were just born in Texas!” The hypocrisy of the dems appears to have hit her square between the eyes.

“Can you not see the hypocrisy of saying that Texas got what they deserved because they voted for it?” she pointed out. And also that not everyone in Texas voted that way, and on top of it all, CHILDREN ARE DYING and they didn’t vote.

I wrote to her and offered her cookies from the Right, and let her know to watch for the tide going out and people on “her side” dropping her like a hot potato. I let her know we have “untrained trauma groups” where we share our concerns for those remaining on the Left who are just… off their rocker. She responded, politely and with much thought in her words.

The leftists are continuing to move so far left that they’re leaving everyone with a brain behind. I feel so awful for this blue haired woman, because I remember just how painful that awakening was for me. I’m sorry that she’s going to be “excommunicated” by her friends (maybe not today, but if she continues to think for herself, it isn’t long off). I’m so sorry that she’s going to realize all sorts of horrid things about the world she’s lived in and participated in.

They are literally eating their own. I watched it happen to me. More importantly, I’m watching it happen in other places. I could be an outlier. Seeing it happen all over the place, that means it’s real. If you have a thought that doesn’t match everyone else, their cognitive dissonance kicks in and they have to exclude you. You must be surgically removed from the group. Why? Because you could infect others with your beliefs.

It’s terrifying.
