Back in the 90s, I worked with a female engineer who was really good at her job. Very smart. But, she didn't pay attention to non-technical things. One day she said, "Why don't people like Bill Clinton? I don't get it. He seems like a nice guy."
So, I started to explain Whitewater, and Monica, and the FBI records, and all of that.
I didn't really get very far. She started waving both hands in front of her and saying, "No. I live in a happy place. I don't want to know about stuff like that." And she went back into dealing with technical problems of computer networks.
If they don't want to wake up, then they just aren't going to.
Bless her heart......someday she might learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time

This lady is the personification of the emotionally weak fodder the left uses to destroy America. Manipulate them emotionally into voting for and supporting things which make them feel good, but are extremely destructive. Delusion is a powerful weapon in the hands of the manipulators, and the left are masters of the art.
Nice poignant illustration with your co-worker.
Waking up needs precursors. The key to waking up is that it is not like getting a bucket of ice water in the face that does it. It has prior steps, leading up to the aha! epiphany moment.
Prior steps are the things like you mentioned that one hears over time, over years prior. Then, at some point it can all click with a catalyst. For many, the catalyst was 1/6/21, where all hope seemed lost, when Pence didn't come thru on people's last hope for election sanity.
The prior steps could be the bent one, or learning about the reality of the Titanic (insurance, jekyll island), Al Pike (3 world wars), epstein, and on and on. These steps would involve taking in the info, filing it away for subconscious processing. After many of those, the person is primed for a catalyst.
Those not yet awake, there is perhaps not enough pre-cursors to catalyze. What is a catalyst for one, is a mere pre-cursor for others.
Just like the people in Plato’s cave.
XIX was a damn bad idea.
