Absolutely. My pleasure. I've been aware of the issue for only a few months and was wondering how to go about supporting them, when this woman made this comment and I thought, "That's it. Right there. The introduction to the story!"
Because, when people become weaponized by cult-like groups that want them to check their brain at the door, they can end up advocating for people who would directly work against their own interests or against those who are doing what we want to see done!
That gap between "how I feel" and "who I will vote for" is the fly in the ointment, it's the weakness in our human nature that is being exploited by people who don't give a damn about us at all. Yet, we trust them? And distrust the person who is actually looking out for our own best interest?
Let's hope we can rise to higher heights than these terrible lows which one might expect from poor farmers in the Middle Ages, but not entitled, empowered, and tech-wealthy people with the skills and education to know better -- if they but avoid the emotional pitfalls, traps and landmines placed in front of them.
I love the Olympus Health Spa. It is rare and wonderful, and needs to be protected. Thank you for this article.
