@sumpnlikefaith I am under the impression that they do not ever wake up. Doing so would rock the very foundation of their belief system and literally traumatize them. It is super unfortunate as I have lost friends and family members to this mental illness.

@sirgeefive I've been in it my whole life to some extent, but the mainstreaming of extremism is new.
It's bizarre to me that the people who were always wagging their fingers at radicalism are now the ones swallowed up in it, and becoming its champions.
