@etakeh I understand that. I'm too stubborn to stop trying. I have hope that someday......

Thank you for sharing your journey and growth. It takes courage to take those steps, and more courage to share them out loud. You've given me a glimpse into a world that has baffled me and I admire your tenacity with your family. I'm glad you landed here. 🌞
@heyrhiannon @etakeh You're welcome and thank you!
I think the Republican bubble baffles a lot of people who aren't in the middle of it. I'm happy to share what insight I can into why I thought that way, and why my family thinks that way.
I don't know if it will help others or not, but I hope it does. In some small way.
@quinnsentialOne @etakeh
It is baffling, in particular because I'm fond of data and accurate and reliable information that can be fact checked. It's a gift to see a worldview I don't understand from someone who has been there. I'm learning new things which is always a good thing.
@heyrhiannon @etakeh
It's very much "How did you end up in a cult?" situation. I would love to be able to give a clean "because of THIS" reason, but it isn't so clear cut. 😞 It's very much all about the emotional charges which are often very unreasonable.
@quinnsentialOne @etakeh
It's seemed like a process and not an event to me. The emotional end being primary makes sense. I didn't realize how much until I read through your timeline.
Thank you. 🙏
