She's not a liberal or anything just wants us to eat healthy and take care of ourselves. Problem is she still wants to rely on "trusted", "proven" experts.
Didn't she learn anything from the Scamdemic?
I figured y'all would take her the wrong way.
After a few weeks and me showing her what math, I could about what the scary numbers they were releasing actually meant in a percentage/ratio of population by age/comorbidity (well until they started hiding key numbers to complete the math, which I also showed her) we dropped all covid protocols.
Anytime she sees an organization make some form of woke DEI display/overture, which makes her evil, me evil, her son evil, and her daughters evil, she discounts everything else they say.
She's a woman that likes rules and wants to trust authority. Luckily, it's deeply rooted in her to trust God above man and me above other men.
The hard part is when an authority she was raised to trust such as doctors or the government say something her first inclination is to comply or abide by it. I'm the sceptic in the family as is my son.
She just wants her and her family to be safe and protected. After we caught Covid and how saw sick we got she became fearful and started talking about the vaccine. All I had to say to her was the same people that are telling you that the vaccine is safe, free, and effective are the same ones which are telling us that riots are safe, churches are unsafe, and anyone young or old can choose whatever sex they feel like they are that moment, she dropped the topic immediately.
It's funny you and Tacosaurus both made the same comment, but it's actually the absurdity of DEI which has actually caused her to finally start questioning things.
It's also really helped that while I was talking "conspiracy theories" during the pandemic because the "truth" made no sense to me, and all the experts were telling her I was crazy time has revealed many of those "conspiracy theories" were the truth. I never bought into the 5G activation or anything like that, just the "conspiracies" that I figured a handful of people in key positions could pull off if enough were just willing to believe it and repeat it.
She's a good woman and my children couldn't have a better mom and I couldn't have a better wife. God's been good to me. It's funny she tells our children to think like me, love God, and love others.
