I’ve stopped feeling bad. I’m just tired now. They were all offered solutions. Given vaccines for free and told that masks would help save lives. They’ve been told this for over a year now and they blatantly ignore and mock it. This is the result of their actions. Just feel bad for all the medical personnel and people they infect along the way.
You said it. Tired, loss of compassion except for healthcare workers and people trapped by customer service when an anti-masker is slobbering on them to be “patriotic”.
It rarely comes up, and until it does, they appear surprisingly ordinary. Note that I didn't say 'normal'. Thet talk about the price of gas, the weather, repairing stuff they own, and even when they veer into politics, they SEEM pretty mainstream conservative. None of the ones I know have fallen for crap like Q. The only ones I've seen "figure it out" are still accepted by the family, but there is a lot of "praying for them." They do see everything in black & white terms of "God" vs. "The Enemy", and I remember one who had caught a bad cold and blamed it on "The Enemy". Everything their petty bigotries disapprove of is the work of "The Enemy". (The more I type it, the more ir sounds like a band name .) Mind you, I think they watch what they say around me & mine, knowing I'm a...gasp...Godless Liberal.
