I’ve never seen so many people FORCE themselves to be ignorant, lest they run across an undeniable fact that clashes with their world view. Their minds are hammered shut.
GAH! Jenny, FORCE themselves to be ignorant describes my former friend exactly. She said we had nothing in common and she was right. I’m a broken glass kind of gal and would walk over said material to vote for Trump. She hasn’t voted once in her life. It’s been years since I’ve spoken with her. Glad I have a higher caliber of people in my life now.
You described it perfectly.
I can never find the right words....
